The cancer network at Health invites you to the Public Cancer Event 2024
Cutting-edge cancer research takes centre stage when the Translational Cancer Network at Health invites patients, relatives, politicians, citizens and the business community to the Public Cancer Event 2024. You are welcome too.
Come meet the people who are at the forefront of cancer research and treatment. At the Public Cancer Event 2024, you can experience a series of inspiring lectures by researchers at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital, and by representatives from the Danish Cancer Society.
The goal is to highlight some of the groundbreaking cancer research being conducted in Aarhus, and organisers of the event hope the evening will promote and stimulate dialogue between researchers, health professionals, patient organisations and the public.
