FRQS Cancer Research Network, TFRI and QCC joint symposium

Welcome

The 'Réseau de la recherche sur le cancer FRQS', in partnership with the Quebec Node of the Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) and the Quebec Cancer Consortium (QCC), welcomes you to its biennial meeting! Given the success of last year's virtual symposium, the organizing committee has decided to offer the meeting in a hybrid format. We will host the in-person meeting in the newly inaugurated Pierre-Péladeau amphitheatre at the CHUM.

The conference will include four sessions on the following themes:

• Preclinical Models, Clinical, and Translational Research
• Signaling, Epigenetics and Metabolism
• Targeted Therapies and Immunotherapies
• Multi-omics and Macro/Microenvironmental Factors

Once again, RRCancer members will have the opportunity to present their work in poster presentations (video or slides). Not yet a member? Don't worry! You can submit your membership application here: https://rrcancer.ca/en/membership/.

Objectives

1. To enable the development and training of students, post-doctoral fellows, and medical residents by allowing them to present their research in poster presentations;
2. To promote scientific discussions and the establishment of collaborations;
3. To inform members of the major ongoing structuring projects in oncology;
4. To maximize interactions between new researchers and other members of the Network by giving them the opportunity to showcase their research interests via pre-recorded video clips.

This conference would not be possible without the contribution of the organizing committee chaired by David P.
