On August 30 and 31, the 27th edition of the JSE (Journée scientifique des étudiants/Student Scientific Day) took place at the Pavillon Ferdinand-Vandry at Université Laval. The objective of the JSE is to allow the student community to share the progress of their research work with all members of the Université Laval Cancer Research Center (CRC) and the Oncology Division of the CRCHUQc-UL, which contributes to strengthening the interdisciplinary and collaborative aspect of cancer research in Quebec. We would particularly like to thank our guest speaker, Dr. Nabil Seidah (Montreal Clinical Research Institute) for his inspiring conference and his participation in these two days. Different prizes for oral and poster presentations were awarded at the end of the JSE (click here for the complete list) as well as several CRC scholarship and prizes.
