Joint meeting of the cancer research areas of IRBLleida and IRB Barcelona

The Cancer Area of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine of Lleida (IRBLleida) is organising its second annual symposium today, 9 November, and on this occasion has organised a joint meeting with the research staff of the oncology programme at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) under the title "IRB Barcelona - IRBLleida Joint Meeting".

The aim of the meeting is to bring together the cancer research carried out at the two institutions in order to establish links and possible future collaborations. The event, which will take place in Lleida, consists of six scientific talks given by senior and principal investigators from both institutions. In addition, there will be an afternoon session called "Science in a flash" where pre-doctoral students from IRBLleida's cancer area will explain their thesis project in a short time, less than 5 minutes. The presentations will be evaluated by a committee that will decide the two winning entries, which will be awarded prizes.
