CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium 23. November 2017

We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, November 23rd 2017.

Main content

We hope you are looking forward to the next upcoming CCBIO JR scientist symposium 23. November 2017 - CCBIO postdocs and PhD candidates should make sure not to miss it!

Participants have the opportunity to enjoy networking with fellow PhD students, post-docs and other colleagues. The tentative program should provide an appealing update on local cancer research.

First, we will hear from the director of CCBIO, Lars A. Akslen, initiating the 15th CCBIO JR scientist symposium. The key lecture is to be held by Stian Knappskog, with promise to present recent work on patterns of genomic evolution in metastatic breast cancer, published in Cancer Cell. Additional topics include, AML, breast- and endometrial cancer, as well as how young scientist should relate and interact with the media by Marion Solheim.

Please register your attendance and lunch preferences through the link within November 22 at the latest. The symposium, including lunch, is free of charge.

Liv Cecilie Vestrheim Thomsen and Erling Høivik are coordinators of the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, and can be contacted if you have any questions.

FACTS/JUNIOR SCIENTIST SYMPOSIA

4 times annually

The symposia are held four times annually, and the first seminar took place on June 11th 2014. The symposia are well visited, with 40-60 registered attendants at the meetings.

Excellent for networking and updating

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

Broad ranging program

The program typically covers a broad range of topics, from basic studies to clinical research, and spiced with an inspirational lecture from a senior researcher. Further, trial lectures are presented, and speakers from research groups outside of CCBIO are also invited to present their projects.

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