Join us on Tuesday 13th September 2022 to hear about the challenges and Oxford-based opportunities in early cancer detection, and how you can apply your research to this burgeoning field.
We are delighted to have Professor Peter Sasieni (www.kcl.ac.uk/people/peter-sasieni) as our keynote speaker (Director, King’s College London Clinical Trials Unit) and there will be sessions themed on:
* Challenges in early cancer detection, featuring Ellie Barnes, James East, Bethan Psaila and Alexis Webb (Research Programme Manager for Early Detection, Cancer Research UK)
* Oxford-based opportunities for early detection, featuring Daniel Anthony, Sarah Blagden, Martin Booth, Brian Nicholson, Jens Rittscher and Daniel Royston
* Opportunities for patient input, featuring Tom Doust (Oxford Cancer PPI group member), Catriona Gilmour Hamilton (Patient Experience and Engagement, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust) and Julliet Lwiindi (Oxford Cancer PPIE officer)
*
The Symposium will also feature lightning talks and an early cancer detection poster session (abstract submission deadline, 25th August; see guidance below).
See the Oxford Centre for Early Cancer Detection webpage (www.oxcode.ox.ac.uk) for a flavour of the research that will be presented.
The day will end with a drinks and canapés reception to give you an opportunity to network and build connections.
