Dear all

We are happy to welcome you all to the last CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium for this semester, November 11th 2021. Local junior researchers will present topics including drug development in acute myeloid leukemia, the role of AGR2 in breast cancer, single cell profiling in chronic myeloid leukemia, and metabolic coupling between oral cancer cells and fibroblasts. We are also excited that the winner of the prize for the publication of the year at the medical faculty, Elaheh Mahootchi, will present her award-winning research for us. Join us for a perfect occasion for professional input and networking! We are looking forward to finally meet you in person this time, but there will also be an alternative to join digitally at Zoom. NB: NOW (NOV 10) CHANGED TO ONLINE ONLY.

Please register as soon as possible.
