Conference Description
The Cancer Nanotechnology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
Cancer nanotechnology is the engineering of nanoscale materials that aim to revolutionize the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and study of cancer. Since its inception, cancer nanotechnology research has produced multiple diagnostics and therapies that are making an impact on patients. The 2025 Cancer Nanotechnology GRC will discuss current efforts to produce personalized nanomedicines, immunotherapeutic nanoparticles, diagnostic imaging and sensing platforms, and research tools, to further improve patient outcomes. The 2025 Cancer Nanotechnology GRC, and the associated trainee-focused GRS, will bring together exceptional scientists and clinicians to: 1) share cutting-edge research in cancer nanotechnology; 2) foster discussion, exchange of ideas, and promote collaborations in a collegial and supportive environment, and; 3) enhance the training and development of young scientists while also promoting diversity and inclusion.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by September 18, 2024. Please check back for updates.
