Invitation to the CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium December 8th

We cordially invite you to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium, December 8th. We present a scientific program that should be of great interest.

For program please consult this link. There is no registration fee and lunch is also included!

A highlight of this symposium is an inspirational lecture on supervision by Professor Arild Raaheim from the Department of Education at the University of Bergen. Raaheim will in his talk focus on the challenges and possibilities related to supervision, from a supervisor’s point of view. We look forward to his talk and hopefully a lively discussion related to this topic.

Professor Harris works at the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, NIH, and his Areas of Expertise includes 1) precision medicine, 2) biomarkers of cancer, 3) molecular epidemiology, 4) p53 function in cancer and aging, 5) metabolome, 6) microbiome. The title of his talk will be announced shortly.

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