- The "Association Giovanna Tosi to fight cancer" (AGGT) is a charity organization founded at the end of 2016 to honour the memory of Dr. Giovanna Tosi, brilliant scientist and Assistant Professor of Immunology at the University of Insubria, Varese, Italy. Giovanna Tosi dedicated her life to research and teaching Immunology and basic Oncology.
The Association was born under the initiative of Dr. Giovanna Tosi's sisters and a group of friends and colleagues, internationally renowned italian scientists that have appreciated and collaborated with her during her scientific career.
The goals of AGGT are to serve the public community in forming and informing about all aspects of cancer, including risks, epidemiology, diagnosis and therapies, to help cancer patients at the hospitals and at home, and to help young researchers to initiate and advance their career in cancer research, particularly in those aspects related to pathogen-induced cancers and cancer immunology.
