CRIS Science Day is a day dedicated to the encounter, collaboration, and celebration of science. It is a space to share projects, experiences, and identify opportunities and synergies.
We are inspired by new approaches and possibilities, becoming an open forum for scientists, researchers, and all those in the sector interested in exploring new perspectives.
We find ourselves at a decisive moment in cancer research. We are witnessing the convergence of deep molecular knowledge with the emergence of advanced technological tools, which is ushering in a new era of early detection and cancer prevention.
At the Symposium “Shaping the future of Cancer: Transforming Cancer Detection with Advanced Technologies“, we will explore, with some of the leading experts at the national and international levels, the current situation, the latest developments, and future perspectives.
It’s a space for collaborative dialogue and the exchange of knowledge and talent.The CRIS Science Day will begin at 10:00 a.m.
The symposium will be organized into sessions that will combine keynote lectures and brief presentations (flash talks) by young researchers.
The aim is to encourage information exchange, promote collaborations, and integrate new generations with leading researchers in their respective fields.
It will conclude with the CRIS Awards Ceremony
