Every year the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) organizes and hosts research conferences and other events in order to foster an environment of scientific inquiry, exchange of ideas, and collaboration among SCC members and other investigators. These events include:
Annual Cancer Research Symposium
Since 2011, SCC has hosted an Annual Cancer Research Symposium to provide a forum for cancer-focused researchers from a variety of disciplines to present and share their research.
The one-day conference covers three different program areas including cancer biology, cancer prevention and control and cancer therapeutics, with a trainee poster presentation competition for each of the program areas preceding the conference start. The symposium hosts more than 250 participants annually. The target audience is faculty, staff, graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, and research members.
International Ovarian Cancer Consortium Conference
The International Ovarian Cancer Consortium was organized by SCC member
Dr. Danny Dhanasekaran, in collaboration with intra and extramural colleagues,
as an international forum of experts who can contribute to the state-of-the-science
in ovarian cancer and tumor microenvironment research. This group of national
and international experts now meets annually at the SCC to present research
and exchange ideas.
2019 Conference Agenda
END2CANCER: Emerging Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery Applications for Cancer
The goal of the END2CANCER conference is to bridge laboratory research
conducted in the areas of nanotechnology and drug delivery to clinical
applications for the detection, diagnosis, imaging and treatment of cancer.
The conference features keynote, plenary and invited lectures by eminent
scientists who discuss new and emerging concepts, technologies, and challenges
in translating nanomedicine from bench to bedside. The inaugural conference
was held December of 2017 and was organized by Dr. Rajagopal Ramesh, Co-Leader
of the SCC’s Cancer Biology Program.
Precision Medicine and Cancer in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities Meeting
November 10, 2016
In 2016, the SCC hosted a national meeting, “Precision Medicine and
Cancer in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities,” for NCI
cancer center investigators and tribal community partners engaged in American
Indian cancer research. Planned in collaboration with the NCI’s
Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and the Office of the
NCI Director, the goal of this meeting was to begin a dialogue to address
cultural and ethical concerns and develop opportunities for American Indian
and Alaska Native participation in emerging Precision Medicine initiatives.
