Main content

Dear all

We are happy to welcome you to the digital CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium June 17^th 2021. Our keynote speaker Gro Vatne Røsland will give us an overview of microbiota in heath and diseases. Local junior researchers will present exciting findings using liquid biopsies in metastatic melanoma and organoid models to study COVID-19 infection, advancing cancer research with murine tumor models and mass cytometry, and how to track systemic glioblastoma stem cells.

Join us for a perfect occasion for professional input and digital networking!

The CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium represents an integrated part of the CCBIO Research School for Cancer Studies. This is a seminar series that aims to improve scientific interaction and networking among junior researchers.

Postdocs Cornelia Schuster and Maria Lie Lotsberg are coordinators of the junior seminars in 2021, and are planning and chairing these meetings.

The symposia are held four times annually, and the first seminar took place on June 11th 2014.

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

The program has covered a broad range of topics, from basic studies to clinical research. Further, trial lectures have been presented, and invited speakers from research groups outside of CCBIO have also presented their projects. Each symposium has a format where 3-5 PhD candidates and postdocs present their research, followed by short discussions.

Join us for a perfect occasion for professional input and digital networking!
