Current strategies for innovative and experimental treatment: from cancer to senescence
free virtual workshop associated with the project 'Nano4Zombie'
27th May 2025
About
The workshop "Current strategies for innovative and experimental treatment: From cancer to senescence" will focus on the promotion of achievements and knowledge about the latest developments in cancer treatment strategies and spontaneous senescence and therapy-induced senescence.
Format:
- Keynote Speakers: Experts in oncology, gerontology, and biomedical research sharing their insights.
- Panel Discussions: Interactive sessions where participants can engage with speakers on pressing topics.
- Workshops: Sessions focusing on specific techniques or methodologies related to innovative treatments.
- Networking Opportunities: Time for attendees to connect with researchers, clinicians, and industry representatives.
Target Audience:
- Researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals interested in oncology and geriatric medicine.
- Students and trainees in biomedical fields looking to gain knowledge about current trends and future directions in treatment strategies.
- representative of the oncology patient associations
Goals:
- To disseminate knowledge about the latest research and experimental treatments.
- To foster collaboration and inspire new ideas among participants in the fields of cancer research and aging.
We hope that our workshop could serve as an important platform for knowledge exchange, fostering collaboration among various stakeholders in the fight against cancer and age-related diseases.
