Meet the speakers of Cancer Crosslinks 2023
Join us for a day of educational talks and mingling with colleagues in the oncology community.
Cancer Crosslinks 2023 will take place on 26 January 2023 (starting at 10:30) in Kaare Norum Auditorium at Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park.
International experts
The programme includes international experts sharing the latest advances in cancer precision medicine and immune-oncology.
The title of Cancer Crosslinks 2023 is New dimensions to the hallmarks of cancer: How is the last decade of discoveries advancing our understanding of cancer biology and transforming precision medicine. It is therefore appropriate that the day begins with a talk from the co-author of The Hallmarks of Cancer.
