ConsorzioInteruniversitario Nazionale per la Bio-Oncologia (CINBO) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1987 under the Italian law.

It is a Consortium of 15 Italian Universities (Bologna, Catanzaro, Chieti, Ferrara, Foggia, L’Aquila, Messina, Università "Campus Bio-medico" Rome, “La Sapienza” Rome, “Federico II” Naples, Palermo, Perugia, Polytechnic of Marche, Teramo, Milano) whose mission is to study the bio-molecular characteristics of human cancer. Particularly, CINBO is currently developing technological platforms (biochips) for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of gastrointestinal cancer as well prediction of sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs.
Besides being active in translational research, since 2001 CINBO has established a training program in cancer, named Mediterranean School of Oncology (MSO), whose aim is to fulfill the educational needs of PhD students, medical oncologists and other health care professionals who are involved in the management of cancer patients and are residents into the Mediterranean countries. The program is articulated into independent courses.
In April, 2009, CINBO became full UICC member.
