The CRCT postdocs association was created in 2022 by Benoît Aliaga, Chloé Bessière and Steffen Fuchs. It gathers the 31 postdocs who are currently present in our research center. We decided to organize the 1st Young Scientist Cancer Congress of the Cancéropôle Grand Sud Ouest (GSO) on the 5th October 2023 at the Oncopole, Toulouse.

Aim: The main goals of this day are to promote the work of the GSO postdocs and young clinician scientists, to network, and to optimize their career paths.
Public: To achieve our goals, we decided to open the conference to the whole scientific community of the GSO, which are researchers and clinicians of all career levels.
Organization: This day will alternate presentations by internationally renowned keynote speakers, presentations by postdocs from the GSO, an application-focused presentation by a leading single-cell sequencing company and a presentation from an editor of Nature Communications about scientific publishing and peer-reviewing.

Invited keynote speakers : 

• Francesco Iorio (Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge / Human Technopole, Milan, Italy)
• Olivier Delattre (Institut Curie, Paris, France)
• Manel Esteller (Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain)
• Kathryn McGinnis, Associate Editor (Nature Communications, London, UK)

Deadline for submission of abstracts for oral presentations: July 13, 2023
Deadline for submission of abstracts for poster presentations: September 08, 2023
Registration (obligatory) until: September 08, 2023
