Cancer: Research, Discovery and Therapeutics Virtual Event Series 2014

This event is now apart of the Cancer Research & Immuno-Oncology Week Virtual Event Series. 

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Event in the Cancer: Research, Discovery and Therapeutics Virtual Event Series!

BioConference Live makes it easier and more cost-effective for the cancer research community to come together online through live video webcasts and real-time networking. BioConference Live attendees learn new concepts, tools and techniques that they can apply to research and diagnosis. BioConference Live requires no travel or time away from the lab or hospital, yet delivers all the benefits of a physical conference. Attendees can earn free CME and CE Credits.

Topics will include Drug Discovery, Clinical Proteomics, Molecular Profiling, Cancer Metabolism: Nutrition and Cancer, Cancer Epigenetics, Therapeutics, Novel trends in cancer detection and screening, Immunotherapy/Harnessing the Immune System for Cancer Therapy, Noninvasive molecular screening for colon cancer, Biomarkers in prostate and bladder cancer, Animal mouse models, Cell signaling, Resistance due to mutations, Kinome profiling, Individualized patient diagnostics, Cancer Therapies & new techniques, Diagnostic testing for clinical decision, Best practices for pregnancy testing prior to cancer therapy, Lactogenic anemia and diagnostic testing: tools for blood conservation in cancer patients and other frail patient, High Dose IL-2 -curative therapy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, and other topics.

This event will bring together research scientists, post docs, principal investigators, lab directors and professionals from around the world to learn about recent advances in cancer research. This conference offers an amazing opportunity as it is free to participants, and there will be no out-of-pocket expenses for travel. However, participants will still benefit from interacting with a global community of like-minded colleagues, without leaving the comfort of their office or home.

Conference participants will be able to
 

  • Attend interactive live streaming video sessions
  • Have their questions answered in real-time by industry experts
  • Chat live with peers and speakers
  • Browse a virtual exhibit floor for solution providers


No crowded airports, delayed flights or expensive hotel rooms, but still the look and feel of a first-rate conference with world renowned experts. Participants also benefit from the fact that experts and vendors are more accessible, no more waiting in line to speak to someone. Think it is too good to be true? Checkout the venue and become a believer.
