Research Rounds

Join us for the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative Research Rounds! The Gynecologic Cancer Initiative Research Rounds features researchers working on accelerating transformative research on prevention, treatment and survivorship of gynecologic cancers. The goal of these research rounds is to provide a forum for researchers, trainees and staff to learn about the range of different gynecologic cancer research projects happening across British Columbia. All researchers, clinicians, trainees, and staff members are welcome to join!

Please note that you must register to attend these research rounds. Meeting details will be sent out to registrants before the event. Light refreshments will be provided to in-person attendees!
