Canceropole-GSO

The Cancéropôle GSO is pleased to announce the 5^th edition of its coaching workshop for young researchers. This 2-day scientific event will involve presentation and discussion of recent findings and future projects in the scope of Genome Dynamics and Cancer. The format of the meeting (focused scientific research themes, fewer than 40 participants, full board retreat in a beautiful environment) is designed to foster exchanges and communication between junior and senior scientists and strengthen research networks between the Great Southwest (GSO) labs.
