Now you can register for the next CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, December 8th 2016.

Inspirational talks

A highlight of this symposium is an inspirational lecture on supervision by Professor Arild Raaheim, Professor at the Department of Education at the University of Bergen. Raaheim will in his talk focus on the challenges and possibilities related to supervision -from a supervisor's point of view. We look forward to his talk and hopefully a lively discussion related to this topic.

Professor Curtis C. Harris will come all the way from Bethesda, Maryland to give an inspirational lecture at the Juniorsymposium. Professor Harris works at the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, NIH, and his  Areas of Expertise includes 1) precision medicine, 2) biomarkers of cancer, 3) molecular epidemiology, 4) p53 function in cancer and aging, 5) metabolome, 6) microbiome. 

Ongoing projects from CCBIO PhD students

Furthermore, several talented PhD students will present their ongoing projects on tumor biology, cancer therapy and tumor-stroma crosstalk and signaling.
