NICR is joining Rakathon as an academic and research partner. From 16 to 18 October, the event will bring together oncology, research, artificial intelligence and modern technologies in Prague, Brno and Ostrava.

Six selected secondary school students spent the last week of August somewhere they would rarely get to go as part of their regular classes – working directly in research laboratories. The second edition of the NICR Summer School gave them five days of hands-on experience under the guidance of experienced scientists and an opportunity to explore different areas of cancer research – from working with cancer cells and biochemistry to drug development and the study of alterations in the cancer genome.
