AGORA Cancer Research Center
AGORA was inspired by the vision that the integration of progress in cancer research into clinical practice can be accelerated by bringing together interdisciplinary research teams of clinicians, cancer biologists, immunologists, bio-informaticians and bio-engineers. Initiated by the ISREC Foundation in 2013, the AGORA building was opened in 2018. The functioning of this translational cancer research center reflects a partnership between the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE).
