The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting is being held digitally this year from the 10-15 April and 17-21 May. Oxford cancer researchers will be involved in live-streamed presentations, panel discussions and poster sessions.
The AACR Annual Meeting program covers the latest discoveries across the spectrum of cancer research—from population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational, and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy—and highlights the work of the best minds in research and medicine from institutions all over the world.
