In collaboration with:

This workshop will cover topics on using genomics for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The workshop will feature both lectures and hands-on practical sessions. Capacity building through this workshop will foster networks, knowledge sharing, and collaborations that expedite the translation of scientific results to clinical impact.

Topics

Emerging technologies in cancer genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Cancer biomarkers, Genomics and precision medicine, Genomic data sharing policy, AI in cancer Screening.

Participants

Researchers working in the topics of cancer genomics, cancer proteome and translating cancer scientific research to clinical impact; Early career scientists and PhD students are highly encouraged to participate.

Funding

A limited number of grants covering course fee, travel cost, and local hospitality throughout the course will be provided for selected PhD students or Early Career Scientist (below 40 years old) who are nationals of ICGEB Member States. The course fee for participants is Euro 50, which covers local hospitality throughout the course. Participants are expected to cover their own travelling expenses.
