The National Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center are hosting an Innovation Lab to explore the intersection of systems biology and the cancer microbiome on April 29-May 3, 2019.   Independent investigators with an interest in systems biology of the cancer microbiome and expertise in fields such as mathematics, microbiology, cancer biology, etc. that could be applied to this topic are encouraged to apply.

The goal of The Innovation Lab: Systems Biology for the Cancer Microbiome is to bring together experts from a wide variety of fields to form new collaborations, ideate and refine new projects, and identify opportunities to accelerate research on the influence of the microbiome in cancer using systems approaches.  25 participants who demonstrate a collaborative spirit and represent a variety of different disciplines, backgrounds and approaches will be selected to attend.  The deadline to apply is January 25th, 2019 but applications are reviewed as soon as they are received (on a rolling basis), so apply early to ensure consideration. Selected participants will have their travel and hotel accommodations covered by the National Cancer Institute. Applicants must be willing to commit to stay for the entire duration of the Innovation Lab.
