CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium

Junior Scientist Symposium February 25th

We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, February 25th. We are happy to present a scientific program that should be of great interest.

The CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium is an arena where PhD candidates and postdocs gain experience with oral presentations and academic discussions, and also occasionally be inspired by CCBIO PIs.

Main content

A highlight of this symposium is an inspirational lecture on research communication by PhD fellow Cecilie Gjerde. Cecilie Gjerde won the national research communication championship 'Forsker Grand Prix' in 2015, and we are truly looking forward to her talk entitled: Research communication - business or pleasure?

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

Postdocs Elisabeth Wik and Agnete Engelsen are coordinators and chairs of the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposia.

This symposium is an arena where PhD candidates and postdocs gain experience with oral presentations and academic discussions. The meetings have proved to be an excellent place for young researchers to get input for potential collaborations in ongoing and future projects.

The program covers a broad range of topics, from basic studies to clinical research. Further, trial lectures may be presented, and invited speakers from research groups outside of CCBIO have also the opportunity to present their projects.

Each symposium has a format where 3-5 PhD candidates and postdocs present their research, followed by short discussions.
