Charbonneau Research Symposium

11th Annual Charbonneau Research Symposium

The Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute Annual Research Symposium brings together trainees, staff, principle investigators and clinicians affiliated with the institute for a day of presentations and discussions around the diverse range of cancer research carried out within Charbonneau. This diversity in cancer research includes biomedical, clinical, health services, and social, cultural environmental and population health research. Each year we invite an external keynote speaker who is an internationally recognized leader in one or more of these areas to present their cutting-edge research and join in with discussions throughout the day. Additional oral presenters are chosen to introduce our newest recruited faculty members, highlight established Charbonneau investigators that have made outstanding contributions to cancer research, and give opportunities for our senior trainees to share their exciting research results.
