AACR 2023 Sessions for Epidemiologists

The 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual MeetingExternal Web Site Policy is taking place in Orlando, Florida, from April 14-19, 2023. (A virtual registration package is also available.)

To help attendees make the most of their time at this year’s meeting, the Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) has assembled a list of selected presentations by National Cancer Institute (NCI) staff that highlight important resources and topics in cancer epidemiology and genomics, funding opportunities, and grantsmanship. If you are attending AACR this year, remember to add these sessions to your AACR Annual Meeting 2023 itineraryExternal Web Site Policy.

The Population Sciences Working Group Session

All AACR Annual Meeting attendees are invited to participate in a special evening session on Monday, April 17, 2023 (6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.), “Linking Epidemiology and Implementation Sciences: A Population Sciences Working Group Town Hall Meeting and Networking ReceptionExternal Web Site Policy.” It will be hosted by AACR’s Population Sciences Working Group (PSWG), including the current chair of PSWG, Lorelei Mucci, ScD, MPH; and the past chair, Andrew T. Chan, MD, MPH. Participants include Katrina Goddard, PhD; Graham Colditz, MD, DrPH; Gila Neta, PhD, MPP; and Maria Elena Martinez, MPH, PhD. The Town Hall is dedicated to Drs. Leslie Bernstein and Gloria M. Peterson and will feature a panel discussion centered around the topic of linking epidemiology and implementation sciences. The Town Hall also includes a networking reception at the beginning and conclusion of the session. For more information, visit PSWG at the Annual MeetingExternal Web Site Policy.

Meet the Experts Session

Danielle Daee, PhD

Visit Danielle Daee, PhD, at the NCI Booth #809External Web Site Policy at 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday, April 17, 2023. Dr. Daee is a program director in EGRP’s Genomic Epidemiology Branch. She manages a portfolio of grants related to genetic factors modulating susceptibility to cancers, including prostate, pediatric cancers, and adolescent/young adult cancers. For a session dubbed “The Pediatric Hour,” Dr. Daee will join representatives from the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT), with presentations on the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Data Ecosystem and the Kids First Data Resource PortalExternal Web Site Policy.

Cancer Grand Challenges Booth

EGRP is involved in the 9 new Cancer Grand ChallengesExternal Web Site Policy (CGC), which support a diverse, global research community to come together, think differently, and take on some of cancer’s toughest challenges. To find out more, drop in at the CGC Booth #707External Web Site Policy throughout AACR. You can also contact the CGC Program Team by email at info@cancergrandchallenges.org.
