Canary Foundation Early Detection Symposium:
May 26, 2011 in Stanford, California
Canary Foundation Early Detection Symposium serves as a forum for members of the extended Canary Foundation Network to meet and share their successes, challenges, and visions for the field of early detection of cancer. Our goal is to work together to generate and optimize strategies for discovery, validation, and dissemination of tests for early cancer detection.
The speakers and audience include leading academic researchers, clinicians, as well as commercial and foundational partners. Agenda includes keynotes on global, government, and industry perspectives, as well as presentations and posters on Canary's investments towards early detection of ovarian, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.
Invited members of the Canary Foundation Network are encouraged to participate in this unique opportunity to meet and interact with fellow teammates, share ideas and resources, and build new collaborations.
