In addition to the Keynote Address, this free virtual event includes invited and short talks, and poster sessions highlighting local and regional cancer research. We are delighted to also welcome Dr. Robert Kerbel from Sunnybrook Research Institute presenting on the future of anti-angiogenic therapy, The Ups and Downs and Ups of Drugs Developed as Angiogenesis Inhibitors for Cancer Treatment. Dr. Paul Spagnuolo and Dr. Valerie Poirier, both of the University of Guelph, will also be joining us as guest speakers.
