The OSUCCC – James Annual Scientific Meeting provides Comprehensive Cancer Center members and other faculty, researchers and staff the opportunity to share programmatic research efforts, advance new ideas for projects, foster principal investigator interactions, identify opportunities for new collaborations and highlight and celebrate some of the most successful projects over the prior year. The audience comprises basic scientists, clinicians, translational researchers, residents, fellows, postdoctoral and graduate students and other cancer program staff. One of the highlights of the meeting is a poster session that allows researchers to present their work, review others’ work, interact and collaborate.
