POSTPONED: Bono workshop, Sept 22-25 2021, Le Bono, France

The « Tumour targeting, Imaging, radiotherapies network » of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is pleased to announce it fourteenth international workshop dedicated to young researchers (PhD Students and Post-Docs) even so experienced researchers are invited to participate, which will take place from  September 30 to October 3 2020 in Le Bono, West of France. 30 travel grant awards are available for the young selected researchers. The 14th international workshop edition entitled “Adaptation of the tumour and its ecosystem to radiotherapies: Mechanisms, imaging and therapeutic approaches “ will confront the points of view and problems of the various disciplines, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Medicine, Computer science, working for the development of molecular and external beam radiotherapies in Oncology. This workshop will focus on the latest advances in molecular and external beam radiotherapies through a better understanding of adaptation of the tumour and its microenvironment. Progress of biological knowledge of tumour escape, heterogeneity and resistance allow others various disciplines to perform treatment using radionuclides or radiation. These aspects will be developed, through the following sessions: Session 1: Tumour adaptation to radiotherapies: biological aspects Session 2: Tumour adaptation to radiotherapies: contribution of imaging Session 3: Innovative radiation therapeutic strategies Session 4: Learning and data driven techniques Session 5: Futures challenges with industrial point of view and focus on European policy in Oncology Plenary lectures will be given by experts in the different scientific fields addressed by the workshop. A number of selected oral presentations given by young researchers will complete the different scientific sessions. This workshop aims at sharing scientific results and at facilitating exchanges between experienced and young researchers in a fast advancing field. To stimulate intense discussions between young and senior scientists, the total attendance is limited to a maximum of 65 persons. Awards: 30 travel grant awards are available for the young selected researchers (PhD students and Post-Doctoral scientists). Each award consists of complimentary registration to the workshop, accommodation expenses, and up to 250€ contribution to travel expenses. Candidates must submit an abstract and must be selected as speaker in one of the scientific sessions to benefit from these awards. Selected candidates will be notified by July 6 2020. Location: This event will take place in the “Manoir de Kerdréan” in Le Bono, in the Gulf of Morbihan, at about two hours from Nantes in West of France.

POSTPONED: Amino acids in nuclear medicine symposium, June 1 2021, Nantes, France

POSTPONED to june 1 2021 This international symposium will deal with different aspects on amino acids from their metabolism in physiological and pathological conditions, their use as PET tracers in oncology, neurology, and neuro-oncology, to their potential use in radionuclide therapy. In order to promote discussions and fruitful exchanges, the symposium will proposed only invited lectures, given by national and international speakers. Each session will be followed by discussions that will have to answer the current question: which are the amino acids most adapted to answer the problem of the needs in nuclear medicine? This symposium remains a unique opportunity to bring together opinion leaders and various actors in these fields. The symposium is organized by the IRC TransForMed in partnership with the Labex IRON and SIRIC ILIAD. It will take place on June 1, 2021 in La Cité, Nantes.
