WCRG's Conference Enjoyed by Many
|
 | |
Dr. Dora Cavallo-Medved, Chair, WCRG Public Outreach Committee
|
On Saturday, November 22, 2014, WCRG hosted its 2nd Biennial International Cancer Research Conference at Caesars Windsor. The conference was attended by almost 150 scientists, clinicians, nurses, research associates, administrators and students who came together from Windsor-Essex and our neighbouring communities including London, Toronto and Michigan to share their research findings.
The conference featured two fantastic keynote speakers, Dr. Craig Earle from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (Toronto, ON) and Dr. Ronny Drapkin from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, MA). The conference also included 16 oral presentations, 47 poster presentations and 14 sponsors. We'd like to thank all participants, sponsors, student volunteers and the conference committee for making this international cancer research conference a success!!
And congratulations to the Top 3 Poster Award winners sponsored by the Faculty of Science at the University of Windsor: Alexandra Blake, Eddie Chan and Dan Gillett.
