CANCELED: OncoPoint 2020

CANCELLED!

Due to the corona-crisis, the organizers have taken the decision to CANCEL this meeting. There are too many uncertain factors that can interfere with the planning and success of the meeting. The next OncoPoint meeting will take place beginning of 2021 (date will be communicated later).
 

Scope

OncoPoint's aim is to provide a common interface to meet fellow cancer researchers from CRIG and discuss, exchange information, and start collaborations.

Basic, translational and clinical cancer researchers from CRIG (Ghent University, Ghent University Hospital and VIB-UGent) will present their latest work to each other.
In addition, we welcome high impact speakers to our program. There is no admission fee for OncoPoint, but registration is obligatory and restricted to UGent, UZ Gent and VIB-UGent collaborators (no external researchers). Accreditation is requested.

This 8th edition of OncoPoint will be organized by CRIG, with support of CRIG's International Thematic Network 'PrIOMiC'. Part of this years program will focus on precision oncology.
