After carefully evaluating the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 NCRI Cancer Conference, originally scheduled for 2-4 November in Belfast, UK. To ensure you stay connected with what’s happening in the cancer research landscape during this time, our team have created a new weekly webinar series.

We’ve also been working behind the scenes to create an exciting new virtual event which will take place on 2-3 November 2020…NCRI Virtual Showcase will feature a number of topical sessions, panel discussions and proffered paper presentations covering the latest discoveries in: Big data and AI, Prevention and early detection, Immunology and immunotherapy, Living with and beyond cancer, and Cancer research and COVID-19.
