CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium
CCBIOs first Junior Scientist Symposium in the autumn term.
Main content
Dear CCBIO PhDs, Post-docs and others
We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, September 17th. We present an interesting scientific program, including novel technologies to study tumor microenvironment and a promising new treatment strategy for therapy resistant prostate cancer.
A highlight of this Symposium is the lecture by CCBIO PI Bjørn Tore Gjertsen. He will share a glimpse of his journey from being a hardworking PhD student to a successful group leader. He will share his thoughts and tips for building a career in cancer research with the attendants of the CCBIO Junior Symposium.
If you want to attend, we kindly ask you to register though the below link within September 15th. You can find the registration link to the right. Lunch is included.
All are welcome to attend, so please feel free to circulate this if you know other researchers/staff that you think would find the symposium interesting.
