The Cura Project Institute is a cutting-edge institution in Latin America, based in São Paulo - Brazil, that combines science and creativity in the fight against cancer.

We aim to make society aware of the benefits of research to combat cancer in Brazil and other Latin American countries, encouraging health professionals to become researchers and raising funds to finance independent or academic scientific research, through the promotion of scientific, sporting or social events involving music, art, design, literature, fashion, etc. We receive donations from individuals or legal entities — directly or indirectly — through the donation or tax deduction of income, for example.

We realized that it is necessary to connect the entire society by raising awareness about the emergency of joining efforts to make Brazil move forward in this scenario.

For this we need a lot of awareness, education and investments. The main challenge of the Cura Project Institute is to sensitize society to the fact that cancer is currently our greatest enemy at the global level. A series of initiatives are being implemented to place Latin America on the world map of cancer research: the Cura Project Institute is one of them.
