Translational Cancer Research for Basic Scientists Workshop 2025

Translational Cancer Research for Basic Scientists Workshop is organized by American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and will be held from Oct 05 - 10, 2025 at Le Meridien Boston Cambridge, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America.

Goals of the workshop:
The goal of the Translational Cancer Research for Basic Scientists Workshop is to provide basic research scientists with a better understanding of translational research, teach them how to adapt their research for maximum clinical impact, and help them transition into a new career in translational cancer medicine. During the course of the week, attendees will gain perspective and background knowledge of the disease from translational scientists in academia and industry, clinicians, and patients, while learning about the latest methods and approaches in cutting-edge translational cancer research. 

This innovative workshop addresses many aspects of translational research including: 

• Collaborating on multidisciplinary teams; 
• Working effectively with industry partners; 
• Recognizing the unique needs and environment of the clinic and clinical laboratories; 
• Navigating the regulatory and compliance issues in translational science; 
• Understanding the perspective of patients and clinicians in order to place research questions into a broader context.
