Upcoming Events
May 21, 2026 (11:00 - 12:00 pm ET)
Fueling Cancer Progression by the Nervous System Webinar: Cancer Neuroscience of Brain Metastasis
Drs. Frank Winkler (Heidelberg University) and Humsa Venkatesh (Brigham and Women’s Hospital) will share the neuroscience of metastasis to the brain.
May 26, 2026 (11:00 - 12:00 pm ET)
Cancer AI Conversation: AI-Assisted Vibe Coding
Drs. Candace Savonen (Synthesize Bio), Ino de Bruijn (MSKCC), and Jeremy Goecks (Moffitt Cancer Center) will discuss the emerging approach of using natural language prompts to generate, refine, and debug code.
June 1 - 2, 2026
Reversing Carcinogenesis for Cancer Prevention Virtual Workshop
This workshop will identify knowledge gaps and challenges related to opportunities for reversing carcinogenesis, explore effective strategies for reversing carcinogenesis, and develop strategic plans prioritizing high risk research areas amenable for carcinogenesis reversion.
June 8 - 9, 2026
Fibrosis at the Crossroad of Tissue Homeostasis and Cancer Workshop
This workshop will explore and discuss the underlying biology of cancer fibrosis that, in turn, will help define how fibrotic conditions can lead to increased risk of cancer, how fibrosis can promote cancer progression, and how targeting fibrosis might be coupled to other treatment approaches.
June 11, 2026 (11:00 - 12:00 pm ET)
Fueling Cancer Progression by the Nervous System Webinar: Psychological Stress Fueling Metastatic Colonization
Drs. Mikala Egeblad (Johns Hopkins University) and Xueyan He (WUSTL) will discuss how psychological stress drives metastasis.
July 9 - 10, 2026
Trans‑NIH Workshop on Micro[nano]plastic Measurement for Population Studies
This workshop will examine the current state of the science related to micro[nano]plastic (MNP) measurement techniques applicable to population science research, including epidemiologic studies.
September 23 - 24, 2026
Workshop on Understanding Plasticity and its Role Across the Cancer Continuum
This workshop will identify roadblocks and challenges in improving our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying plasticity and raise awareness of the significance of cell plasticity in cancer development, progression, and treatment response.
