Brain Tumour Conference 2020

We are pleased to announce that Cancer Research UK will hold the 2nd international Brain Tumour Conference together with Simona Parrinello at University College London, Michelle Monje-Deisseroth at Stanford University and Richard Gilbertson at Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre, University of Cambridge.

The conference will unite the brightest minds in cancer research to discuss and debate some of the greatest issues in the field. Our multidisciplinary programme combines expertise from across the breadth of brain tumour research, together with insights from allied disciplines, to spark new opportunities for collaborative research.

Although survival rates for most cancers have shown an encouraging upward trend, the fearsome complexity of the brain, and the plethora of different disease subtypes, has left brain tumour survival languishing at the bottom of the table.

Our intention is to provide a stimulating environment where scientists from across the research pipeline can showcase new discoveries, spark new collaborations, and create the synergy needed to accelerate progress for patients.

Submit your abstract by Friday 21 February 

All attendees are eligible to submit a poster abstract. We're also giving up-and-coming postdocs and students the opportunity to showcase their work as part of our Future Leaders session.
