The second Cambridge Precision Breast Cancer Symposium #CPBC2024 is being held on the 22nd March at The Old Divinity School, St John’s College Cambridge. A fantastic line up of speakers have confirmed. Poster abstracts can be submitted – from which we will select at least two for 5min flash presentations; and a competition with £50 prizes available.
The Symposium is an opportunity to meet researchers, clinicians and other specialists from a range of Cambridge institutes and beyond, involved in all aspects of breast cancer research.
Available spaces were sold out last year so we recommend booking early. Please also submit your poster abstract so that you have a chance of being selected for a presentation.
