Events

Journal Club

The LCBC Journal Club is a forum to explore recent and foundational papers in cancer biology. It offers the chance to practice critical reading and discussion skills, hear about work outside your immediate projects, and optionally gain experience presenting papers to your peers.  

Fall Symposium

This annual symposium represents the wide array of cancer related research taking place Harvard-wide. Speakers from both basic and applied fields represent labs from the various Harvard-affiliated institutions. 

Spring Symposium

A student-centerd event aimed at motivating and inspiring our graduate students. The Symposium features short talks by our KGCRF CCA awardees and/or poster competition winners, faculty talks both on research and career path, and the Karin Grunebaum Cancer Research Foundation Poster Competition.  

Seminars

The DFCI Seminars in Oncology Series invites nationally recognized cancer biology researchers each week.

Student Data Club

This student-only forum allows the opportunity to engage in peer review, practice critical questioning skills, and learn about techniques outside one's immediate field. We encourage student presentations on works-in-progress! Student data club is a monthly event.  

Social Events

The aim of the social event series is to foster student-student, and student-faculty networking. In this informal atmosphere, students have the chance to get feedback and advice on various aspects of their graduate career or discuss the future of the cancer biology field.
