We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium on October 3, 2024. 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.
We are honored to have Randi Hovland, the leader of the Cancer Genomics unit at Haukeland University Hospital, as our keynote speaker. She will share how her department utilizes advanced technology for molecular cancer diagnostics. Additionally, Hanan Ashrafi and Pouda Panahandeh will present their research on how IFN-gamma and the IRX3 Homeobox protein effect sensitivity to estrogen receptor (ER) inhibition. Lucrezia Berton from the Mohn Cancer Research Laboratory will discuss genetic features that predict neoadjuvant treatment outcomes in breast cancer. Lastly, Lorena Larios Salazar will present how nanodiamonds may enhance oral cancer treatment.
We hope to see you there for an enriching and inspiring experience!
When: October 3, 2024 at 09.15-13.15
