What questions current cancer research addressing and who is addressing them in the Czech Republic? How do modern informatics tools and artificial intelligence play a role? On Tuesday, May 7, we are organizing the first NICR UpDate – a meeting of NICR researchers with the media.
Nine individuals from different teams and departments with different specializations and professional experience will present their current work to journalists. We will start the meeting in the form of speed dating, i.e. short interviews, which will take place several times during the meeting. Media representatives will thus get a variety of information about different forms of cancer research in one event.
