We are pleased to announce the “HPV-Associated Diseases: Screening, Prophylactic and Therapeutic Vaccines” meeting, which will take place from September 11-13, 2025, in São Paulo, Brazil.

This event is supported by the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB). The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers and advance both basic and applied research in the understanding of HPV infection, as well as discuss innovations in prophylactic vaccines and therapeutic approaches to combat HPV-related diseases. By fostering collaboration between experts in molecular biology, immunology, clinical research, and public health, this meeting aims to drive forward breakthroughs that can have a significant impact on HPV prevention and treatment. The conference will provide an opportunity for regional scientists and internationally recognized experts to present their work, exchange ideas, and inspire future developments in a global forum.

The meeting will be held exclusively in person, allowing attendees to access conferences, keynote lectures, and oral poster presentations. In-person activities will include meeting with the experts sections and social events, offering participants the chance to network, collaborate, and share insights that can translate into real-world benefits for public health.

The venue, the Cancer Institute of São Paulo (Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo – ICESP), is one of Brazil’s top medical and research centers. ICESP is centrally located in São Paulo, with easy access to hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and transportation.
