Initiated by the ISREC Foundation in 2013, the carrying out of the project is the result of a partnership between the CHUV, the University of Lausanne, the EPFL, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, the University Hospitals of Geneva and the University of Geneva. Thanks to this joint vision, the project was born and will in time become the most important platform for intercantonal relations.

The building, which has a surface of 11,500 square meters, will bring together close to 300 researchers and clinicians and is structured in many interconnected zones where research will be focused on the following subjects: melanoma, glioblastoma, lung, breast, pancreas and prostate cancers, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis.

Synergies to spark new discoveries

Doctors, biologists, geneticists, immunologists, bioinformaticians and bioengineers will be gathered under the same roof in Lausanne to tackle the multiple challenges posed by these diseases to develop and implement new therapeutic ways to help patients.

« The Agora pole was born from the desire of having a location in Western Switzerland inspired by the great American oncology centers”, comments Professor Francis-Luc Perret, director of the ISREC Foundation. “They are often located close to care units and allow a close relationship between clinical practice and medical research. Doctors can go from one to the other without wasting any time.”
