Networking Opportunities

At the EACR, we know that conferences are about more than just hearing the latest research. Our events are well-known for providing excellent opportunities for networking, interaction and discussion. Here are some of the features you can look forward to at the EACR conference on Molecular Pathology 2023.

• Meet the Expert
• Networking Reception
• Poster Discussion Sessions
• Conference Dinner
• Panel Discussion

Meet the Expert

Tuesday 28 March, 16:45-17:15

This will be an informal session hosted by two members of our outstanding line-up of speakers – Prof. Dr. Marjolijn Ligtenberg from the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands and Dr Raza Ali from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute in the UK. Both of our experts will be sharing their personal and professional experiences of their paths to scientific leadership. This interactive session will be a great opportunity for attendees to meet, ask questions and gain advice from both Marjolijn and Raza.

Networking Reception

Tuesday 28 March, 17:15-18:15

A complimentary buffet dinner will be served for all participants and exhibitors to enjoy on Tuesday evening. Why not take the opportunity to make new connections in an informal setting! The trade exhibition will be open at this time, and Poster Discussion Session 1 will follow at 18:15

Poster Discussion Sessions

Tuesday 28 March, 18:15-19:45
Wednesday 29 March, 13:25-14:55

There are two dedicated 90-minute Poster Discussion Sessions in the programme. At these times, the presenters for that session should stand by their posters to discuss their work with other participants and invited speakers. As well as the dedicated sessions, there are also additional poster viewing opportunities at the beginning of each day when posters can be freely browsed

Panel Discussion

Wednesday 29 March, 17:40 - 18:25

Unlocking the Potential of Molecular Pathology: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

What does the future hold for molecular pathology? Join us for a panel discussion that will shed light on the latest advances in the field and the impact they are likely to have on cancer research and clinical practice.

Panel members will share their insights on the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in molecular pathology. This includes comprehensive molecular profiling, tumour heterogeneity,  spatial transcriptomics and proteomics, the “intelligence” within the tissue sections and the combination diagnostics of personal cancer avatars.

This interactive session will provide a unique platform for attendees to exchange ideas and perspectives, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of molecular pathology and connect for future collaborations.

Co-Chaired by Eli Pikarsky and Ragnhild Lothe

Conference Dinner

Wednesday 29 March, 19:30 CEST

The Conference Dinner will take place on the final night of the meeting at the atmospheric Ristorante Taverna Valtellinese, a short walk from the conference venue. It will be an excellent opportunity for participants and speakers to get to know each other in a relaxed and informal environment.
