An internal Oxford event with presentations and networking opportunities to foster the pancreatic cancer research community.
This event is designed to bring together clinicians, researchers, and allied professionals with an interest in pancreatic cancer. The programme will provide a concise overview of current and emerging therapeutic approaches, and opportunities for clinical and translational research within Oxford. There will also be dedicated sessions on accessing human tissue resources, biobanks, and preclinical models, alongside short research presentations and a patient and public involvement perspective. We are fortunate to have internationally renowned speakers from pancreatic cancer research units across the UK, and also the Head of Pancreatic Cancer UK to talk about the National Cancer Strategy and funding opportunities.
The day is intended to be accessible and relevant to all members the research community, whether you have a specific research interest or would simply like to better understand the evolving pancreatic cancer landscape. We particularly encourage those not currently working in pancreatic cancer to attend.
