Abstracts for consideration as Poster Presentations can be submitted following registration at http://www.gcgc.in/regdetails.html by researchers from academia and industry involved in cancer research. All submitted abstracts received will be reviewed on the basis of scientific merit, novelty and practical application. Due to the limited slots available, only the best abstracts will be selected for poster presentation. Also, interview for senior graduate/ recently graduated students shortlisted for the postdoctoral positions in the laboratories of Speakers at the conference will be scheduled on the sidelines of the symposium.
