Young Scientists Cancer Congress 2nd Edition

After a highly successful first edition, the YS2C Young Scientist Cancer Congress is back for a second edition, on October 10 and 11, 2024 in Montpellier.

The theme of the conference is "New translational approaches to cancer therapy", and will bring together researchers and clinicians.

This year, we'll be honored to welcome international speakers from Europe and the USA, a Nature communication editor and the University of Berlin.

One session will be devoted to the clinical aspect, and will be orchestrated by Prof. C. Herbaux from Montpellier University Hospital. This initiative aims to make clinicians' research accessible to participants, even non-specialists.

Scheduled for the first day of the congress, this session is a continuation of the "physician corner", which proved so popular at the first edition. The main objective is to shed light on a specific clinical problem, and to discuss methodological approaches in biology and bioinformatics likely to provide solutions. Another new feature of the event is a round-table discussion between researchers and students from the University of Montpellier's Master of Cancerology program. It will open up the discussion between researchers and students, demystify careers in cancer research, share views on the future, and diversify testimonials.
