Parnassus Cancer Research Symposia

This series aims to enhance cohesion and collaboration between cancer researchers within the Parnassus Campus, as well as with other HDFCCC locations.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not organizing a 2nd or 3rd symposia for 2020. Instead, we aim to organize a “trainees day” with short talks by trainees, lightning talks and poster sessions, and a career discussion panel--hopefully some time in the fall of 2020.

Stay safe!
Zena, Val, Stan, Neil, Andrei, Jay, and Jeroen
