[spsp-members] 6th Philosophy of Cancer Biology Workshop: Call for abstracts

[Thomas Pradeu]

*6th Philosophy of Cancer Biology Workshop*


The 6th Philosophy of Cancer Biology workshop will be held in Bordeaux,
France, from March 4th to March 6th, 2024.

Invited speakers include: Ilaria Elia, Andrew Ewald, Peter Friedl, Cristina
Lo Celso, Guillaume Montagnac, Julie Pannequin, Maria Rescigno, Gregory
Sepich-Poore, Eric Solary, and Orsolya Vincze.

More information can be found on this website:
https://www.philinbiomed.org/event/sixth-philosophy-of-cancer-biology-workshop/

Invited talks will focus on the two topics of cancer microbiome and cancer
metastasis, but the call for abstracts is open to all emerging conceptual
and theoretical issues in cancer research. Selected abstracts will have 15
minutes allocated for their talks followed by 15 minutes of discussion.

Abstracts must be submitted here (https://forms.gle/CZo357M524Qy5mVu7)* by
Dec 5th.* They will be anonymized and evaluated by the scientific
committee. Notifications will be sent by *December 22nd*.

The abstract must identify a clear biological and/or medical problem and
provide an answer to that problem using conceptual, theoretical, and/or
philosophical tools. The scientific committee particularly welcomes
interdisciplinary submissions as well as submissions that state explicitly
what difference their proposal makes to scientific and medical practices.

The conference is free and open to all researchers.

Young researchers can apply for a grant to help cover the cost of their
travel and accommodation, if their own institution cannot cover such costs.
Please contact Thomas Pradeu <thomas.pradeu at u-bordeaux.fr> and Lucie Laplane
<lucie.laplane at univ-paris1.fr> if you are interested.
