2nd AICRIstart Symposium
Join the 2nd AICRIstart Symposium to meet PhD students and Postdoctoral Fellows leading cutting-edge cancer research in Ireland.
About this event
Join us for the 2nd AICRIstart Symposium on the 23rd and 24th of January 2025 to explore the future of cancer research. Meet the brightest emerging talents from across the island of Ireland as they showcase their innovative projects in precision cancer medicine. This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with PhD students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and leading experts, as they share their visionary work. The event is in collaboration with University of Ulster, and will be hosted in The Great Hall Londonderry BT48 7JL Londonderry BT48 7JL.
The AICRIstart programme serves as a foundation stone for the All-Island Cancer Research Institute (AICRI) and is instrumental in building critical mass in precision cancer medicine on the island of Ireland. Launched in 2022, AICRIstart connects ten academic institutions (UCD, TCD, RCSI, TU Dublin, DCU, QUB, UU, UG, UL, and UCC), with University College Dublin (UCD) serving as the administrative lead.
This training programme spans the island of Ireland, creating a network of excellence in cancer research. Over the past two years, AICRIstart has provided ten PhD students with the environment to lead innovative projects in precision cancer medicine, while supporting their mobility to collaborate with partnering institutions.
In 2024, the programme expanded to welcome a new cohort of Postdoctoral Fellows. These Postdoctoral Fellows are exploring cutting-edge topics such as immune exhaustion in cancer and liquid biopsy technologies.
This Event Provides:
Insights from expert panels on cross-border cancer care and academia-industry collaborations, crucial for those invested in the future of healthcare.
Opportunities to network with leading cancer researchers, emerging talent, and key stakeholders from academic, clinical, and industry sectors.
Attendees of the 2nd AICRIstart Symposium in 2025 will have the unique chance to engage with groundbreaking cancer research, witnessing firsthand the future of precision cancer medicine across the island of Ireland.
This event is open to students, PhD researchers, post-doctoral fellows, industry professionals, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and anyone with an interest in advancing cancer research, fostering innovation in Precision Cancer Medicine, and promoting collaboration between academia, industry, and patient advocacy. Please feel free to share with your networks.
