There is still time to register for the 2014 Institute for Comparative Cancer Investigation (ICCI) Research Symposium.
The annual showcase of cancer research taking place at the Univeristy of Guelph takes place May 15 in the OVC Lifetime Learning Centre.
The deadline for abstracts is May 5. All members of the university community are welcome to attend. Registration is free. The deadline for pre-registration is May 12.
This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Deborah Knapp, director of the comparative oncology program at Purdue University. Last year, Knapp was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Animal Cancer Foundation for her work designed to develop new drug therapy for a deadly form of bladder cancer. Read about it here.
Knapp’s talk, titled “Urinary bladder cancer: applying comparative oncology research to transform the outlook for humans and dogs,” will take place at 3:30 p.m. in Room 1714. During her visit, Knapp will also be available for individual meetings on May 16.
To arrange a meeting, contact highlight Dr. Tony Mutsaers at Ext. 54068 or mutsaers@uoguelph.ca.
