Conference Description
The Cancer Genetics and Epigenetics 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
The 2025 Cancer Genetics and Epigenetics GRC will showcase and delve into a spectrum of leading-edge topics integral to cancer genetics and epigenetics, inclusive of emerging (epi)-genomics engineering technologies; advancements in cancer epitranscriptomics, spatial epigenomics & tumor microenvironment epigenomic dependencies; breakthroughs in translational cancer epigenetic therapy; latest developments in genetics & epigenetics informed cancer drivers; forefront discoveries in epigenomic plasticity & tumor evolution. As these diverse topics take center stage, the conference promises to provide a comprehensive perspective on cancer genetics and epigenetics to inspire the next wave of innovations. Beyond the stimulating talks of invited speakers, there will be additional talks selected from the submitted abstracts as well as one-minute “poster preview” talks. Furthermore, the conference will incorporate designated time for interactive poster presentation sessions, mentorship and social events providing ample opportunities for scientists from across all career stages to network and mingle. This intentional design aims to foster an inclusive community-building environment, drawing interest from a broad spectrum of researchers, and to serve as a nexus for global collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Note: The deadline for submitting abstracts to be considered for short talks is April 11th, 2025. Those selected for short talks will be informed by April 20th, 2025.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by January 18, 2025. Please check back for updates.
