Introduction
BACR Early Career Conference
Introduction
Trailblazers in Cancer Research: The Next Generation
22 - 23 June 2023
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 13TH MAY 2023
Trailblazers is organised by and for Postdoctoral Research Fellows/Assistants who are members of the BACR. Final year PhD students who are also members of the BACR are eligible to attend, subject to availability of spaces. The aim is to bring together the BACR early career community to share their research, network and to hear from internationally renowned invited speakers working in cancer research. ECRs will have to present both talks and posters under one of 4 broad scientific sessions:
• Cell Signalling and the Tumour Microenvironment
• Cancer Omics
• Emerging Approaches in Cancer Treatment
• Lifestyle, Nutrition and Cancer
Our programme includes how to incorporate Patient Public Involvement (PPI) in your research and a “Careers Panel Session” to discuss various career routes. This is a valuable career development and networking opportunity for ECRs, and we appeal to PIs and Group Leaders to support and encourage their ECRs to participate in this conference.
Abstract submission is a prerequisite for attendance. There will be short talks and a poster blitz selected from the abstracts as well as posters. There are a limited number of spaces so a place will not be confirmed until all abstracts have been received and judged.
This is a residential meeting and the registration cost of £100 includes registration, all conference refreshments and one nights B&B accommodation at the Pendulum Hotel, Manchester. This flat rate fee will apply, even if you do not require overnight accommodation. In the event of the meeting being oversubscribed, preference will be given to Postdoctoral Research Fellows/Assistants with final year PhDs students added to a waiting list.
To register, please complete the attached registration form with your abstract submission and return to bacr@leeds.ac.uk by: 13/05/23 and you will be notified by the middle of May if your abstract has been accepted.
