Integrative molecular epidemiology workshop:Bridging cancer biology and precision medicine

July 26-30,2021; Virtual workshop

This virtual workshop is designed to accelerate the training of the next generation of cancer researchers who must be well-skilled in the integration of biology and epidemiology in studies of etiology and outcome.In addition to molecular epidemiologists,applications from geneticists,statisticians,bioinformaticians,molecular biologists,and others were invited.A requirement for the course is that participants must have successfully completed basic course work in epidemiology.The workshop will focus on study design,data interpretation,and the appropriate use of tools and techniques,with minimal focus on biostatistical methods.Workshop lectures incorporate extensive time for discussion and interaction with top faculty members.Problemsolving sessions and hands-on exercises will build on the material discussed in lectures.All lectures and exercises are designed for practical application and take into consideration issues such as feasibility,scalability,quality control,and practical limitations.The workshop incorporates a cross-disciplinary,team science approach that integrates discussions on working successfully within teams and consortia with experience working in collaborative groups throughout the workshop.For more information,please visit:https://www.aacr.org/meeting/ime-2021/
