New York Cancer Genomics Research Network Meeting

We are excited to re-introduce these evening lectures with a slightly altered format- three talks from a single institution, highlighting new and important work relevant to the cancer genomics community. We look forward to seeing you at this and future talks. If you’d like to volunteer your institution to fill a future CGRN spot, please reach out to lwinterkorn@nygenome.org.

5:00 – 7:00 PM ET – Presentations
7:00 – 7:30 PM ET – Reception

DISCUSSION AND Q&A
Moderated by Aaron Viny, MD
Discussion and Q&A will take place after each speaker presents.

These meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month; when held in person, they are attended by principal investigators and their trainees in the New York region, and are intended to be viewed by anyone in the world with an internet connection.
