OncoPoint 2018
Scope
OncoPoint's aim is to provide a common interface and substrate to meet fellow cancer researchers and discuss, exchange information, and start collaborations.
Basic, translational and clinical cancer researchers from CRIG (Ghent University, UGent-VIB and Ghent University Hospital) 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).
This 6th edition of OncoPoint will be organized by CRIG, in collaboration with ION Ghent (Immuno-Oncology Network Ghent) and the CEDAR-IC network (Cell Death Activity Regulation in Inflammation and Cancer). Part of this years program will focus on immuno-oncology.

In addition, both short oral presentations (15') and storm session presentations (2') are selected from the abstracts submitted by CRIG (UGent, UZ, VIB-UGent) researchers. Also a poster session will be organized to increase interaction between researchers. Awards will be given for best presentations in all three categories.
