Discover the latest advances in cancer research by submitting your abstracts and attending Markey Cancer Center Research Day on May 7, 2019. 

UK researchers – students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty and staff – have the opportunity to share their work in an atmosphere of learning and collaboration through several avenues such as:

• Poster sessions
• Oral presentations (invited)
• Luncheon
• State of the Cancer Center Address
• Susan B. Lester Memorial Lecture, presented by Ned Sharpless, MD, Director of the National Cancer Institute.

Prizes are awarded to graduate students and to post-doctoral fellows for the best posters in categories such as basic science, clinical, translational, population-based and more.

In addition to the poster competition, the judges select an abstract from one graduate student, one post-doctoral fellow and one junior faculty member to be presented during the oral presentations.

Guidelines for the preparation and submission of abstracts are available here: Abstract Submission Guidelines.
