Workshop at Berder

Welcome

The "Tumor targeting & radiotherapies network" of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is glad to announce its sixth European workshop dedicated to young researchers (PhD Students and Post-Docs). This workshop will be focussed on "Nanomedicine in Oncology" from the 26th to 29th of  September 2012 in Berder Island, France.

 

The main objective of this European workshop is to present the most recent advances in the field of  nanomedicine for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, from the development of innovative nanosystems and processes to preclinical and clinical assessment, with a particular focus of functional imaging, nucleic acid delivery and targeting, tumor resistance and toxicology issues.
Overview lectures will be given by experts in the scientific fields. Young researchers will get the opportunity of a first talk in a European meeting to present their research projects. In order to stimulate intense discussions between young and senior scientists, the total attendance is limited to a maximum of 60 persons.

The symposium is organized into 5 sessions held within 2.5 days. Each session will start with an invited expert summarizing the essence of a selected aspect of nanomedicine. Then, it will be followed by 6 oral presentations from young researchers, based on original data, and selected from proffered abstracts.

30 travel grant awards are available for young researchers (PhD students and Post-Docs). Each award consists of complimentary registration to the workshop, accommodation, and up to 250€ to cover travel expenses. Candidates must submit an abstract and must be selected as speaker in one of the scientific sessions.

Deadline for abstract submission May 21st, 2012

Deadline for registration June 15th, 2012
