Young Scientists Cancer Congress 2nd Edition

Following the resounding success of the first edition, the Young Scientist Cancer Congress (YS2C) is back for a second edition on October 10 and 11, 2024, in Montpellier.

The theme of this conference is "New translational approaches in cancer therapies" and will bring together researchers and clinicians.

This year, we are honored to welcome international speakers from Europe and the United States, an editor from Nature Communications, and the University of Berlin.

One session will be devoted to clinical aspects and will be led by Prof. C. Herbaux from Montpellier University Hospital. This initiative aims to make clinical research accessible to participants, even those who are not specialists.

Scheduled for the first day of the conference, this session is a continuation of the "physician corner," which was very popular during the first edition. The main objective is to shed light on a specific clinical issue and discuss methodological approaches in biology and bioinformatics that could provide solutions. Another new feature this year is a round table discussion between researchers and students from the University of Montpellier's Master's program in Oncology, which will enrich the conference. It will open up discussion between researchers and students, demystify careers in cancer research, share ideas about the future, and diversify testimonials.
