Event Details
This workshop is an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the dynamic field of cancer research. The combination of expert lectures, cutting-edge research discussions, and hands-on experimental training will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of both the established principles and emerging concepts in cancer biology and treatment.
Cancer remains one of the top five non-communicable diseases globally, necessitating a sustained exchange of knowledge on the foundational and emerging concepts in cancer research and treatment.
This workshop is designed to facilitate in-depth engagement and discussions between student participants and leading experts in the field of cancer biology. Participants will explore both established and cutting-edge areas of cancer research, as well as current and prospective cancer care modalities.
The agenda includes detailed sessions delivered by distinguished speakers, complemented by hands-on experimental training on technical applications of organoids, Digital PCR, and Cancer Immunology. These practical sessions will familiarize participants with advanced techniques for studying cancer hallmarks and anti-tumor immunity. The training will take place in the state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratories of Shiv Nadar University, which feature advanced facilities such as a cell culture lab, high-performance computing systems, confocal and epifluorescence microscopes, a flow cytometer, and microplate readers.
By participating in this workshop, students will gain inspiration and insights to further their research pursuits while exploring collaborative opportunities with eminent scientists.
