Home Seminars & Events NJMS-UH Cancer Center Tumor Conferences

 

The NJMS Cancer Research Center hosts a series of weekly multidisciplinary cancer conferences where new and clinically relevant patients are discussed for treatment options, including clinical trials. The conferences are reasonably casual and the leaders of each conference would embrace the attendance of basic scientists and graduate students with similar interest to develop potential collaboration.
