Markey Cancer Center Research Day Call for Abstracts

Discover the latest advances in cancer research by submitting your abstracts and attending Markey Cancer Center Research Day on May 9, 2018.

Researchers (students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty and staff) whose work highlights any notable aspects of the overall cancer program at UK are invited to submit poster abstracts.

From the accepted abstracts, posters will be divided into the following research categories:

Basic Science
Clinical
Translational
Population-based
Biostatistics/Bioinformatics
Informatics/IT
Core resources

Awards will be presented to the top poster presentations for both graduate students and post-doctoral fellows following the keynote address. (The Core Resources abstracts/posters are informational only and will not be judged.)

In addition to the poster awards, the Program Committee will select one graduate student project, one post-doctoral fellow project and one junior faculty project to be presented orally at the event. Presenting authors of these abstracts will be notified by April 9.

Guidelines for the preparation and submission of abstracts and posters are available here: Abstract Submission Guidelines.
