”Cancer Crosslinks presents a great opportunity t
o share research, speak with collaborators, and develop new ideas,” said Tom Erkers. “It is not only our ability to share data between scientists and clinicians, and our ability to think about concepts in oncology and how that might impact how we treat our patient, but also the ability to do good research across countries.” (DKTK), Institute for Tumor Metabolism, Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Essen, Germany, commented: “Cancer Crosslinks was one of the best conferences in recent years. I have made a lot of new connections with excellent scientists. I look forward to continuing to exchange ideas with my Norwegian colleagues.” Another speaker, Mariam JamalHanjani, Group Leader, Cancer Metastasis Lab, CRUK Lung Cancer Centre of Excellence, UCL Cancer Institute; Senior Clinical Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Translational Lung Oncology, UCL Hospital, London, UK, said: 94 | NORDICLIFESCIENCE.ORG “It has been wonderful to meet Norwegian oncologists and clinicians with great interest in academic research and basic biology. I have already established ideas with new collaborators, so I feel very positive about what we take away from this meeting. It is not only our ability to share data between scientists and clinicians, and our ability to think about concepts in oncology and how that might impact how we treat our patients, but also the ability to do good research across countries.” A special addition to Cancer Crosslinks 2023 was the afternoon networking session, which included a musical performance, an unveiling of building plans for Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park and mingling into the evening. Prof. Kather further commented: “I am very impressed by the conference, the active participation of the community, the line-up of speakers and the lively discussions between the speakers and the audience.” “My impression is that the Norwegian cancer research environment is very innovative and that it is successful at integrating the scientific methods with new technological approaches. It is a great place to think about the cancer diagnostics and treatments of the future – and to make them a reality,” said Prof. Kather. NLS EVENTS // HIGHLIGHTS
