We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium on February 27th, 2025. This seminar series offers a fantastic opportunity to connect and engage with fellow young scientists. We look forward to vibrant and insightful discussions, as always.
As the keynote speaker, CCBIO researcher Vandana Ardawatia will explore the benefit of introducing the ancient Indian traditional medicine, Ayurveda into modern cancer prevention and therapy in her talk, “Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Oncology: The Indian traditional medicine Ayurveda in Cancer Prevention and Therapy”. Oda Fløtre will share her experiences from establishing organoid models from high-risk cervical cancer patients. Reidun Æsøy will explore how ctDNA-based Liquid Biopsy can be applied for monitoring pediatric cancer. Get a perspective on healthcare budgets when Grace Wezi Mzumara presents her findings of the costs of care for children with severe anemia in Malawi, Kenya and Uganda. Finally, Nivedita Sinha will delve into the complexities of “Tooth Root Resorption,” discussing treatment outcomes, diagnostic challenges, and the innovative role of artificial intelligence in addressing these issues.
We hope to see you there for an enriching and inspiring experience!
