Annual Short Course on Experimental Models of Human Cancer – Hosted by The Jackson Laboratory
August 17, 2020 - August 28, 2020
This virtual event will be presented through a combination of on-demand lectures, live panel discussions, interactive poster sessions, and virtual workshops and Q&A sessions.
The annual Cancer Short Course remains the signature cancer training program at JAX. The program purposefully provides a broad survey of the cancer research and experimental modeling from systems and computational genetics, to the tumor microenvironment and tumor progression, to inflammation and immunotherapy.
The program combines seminars from leaders in cancer genetics, cancer cell biology, emerging animal models of human cancers, cancer immunology and therapy, with workshop-based learning opportunities including computational workshops. The program will be presented through a combination of on-demand lectures enhanced by live panel discussions, virtual workshops and Q&A sessions, and interactive poster sessions. Over nine days, participants will interact directly with faculty, JAX Cancer Center scientists, patient advocates and medical oncologists to gain broad exposure and knowledge as it relates to human cancer.
