Research Symposium

UPDATE 4/2/2020: The 5th Annual CCF Research Symposium will be postponed. Read more…

History of the Symposium:

Launched in 2016, CCF annually hosts the one-day CCF Research Symposium. The brainchild of CCF’s Scientific Advisory Board Chair Jeffrey Toretsky, M.D., the CCF Research Symposium puts forth the belief that small local research dialogue will lead to substantial research collaboration. Regional experts (including nurses, doctors, therapists, etc.), advocates, and trainees have shared research and continue to advance the treatment of childhood cancer.

Video presentations and photo galleries of past Symposia can be found below:

The 4th Annual CCF Research Symposium, “Solving Childhood Cancer through Collaboration,” was held June 5, 2019.

The 3rd Annual CCF Research Symposium “Today’s Research to Tomorrow’s Clinical Trials” took place on June 6, 2018.

 Highlights, photos, and videos of the day can be found on the 2018 Symposium page.
