Molecular Networks of Cancer and other Diseases

16th - 18th October 2023 

About this Symposium

Featuring more than 26 renowned speakers from research and clinical backgrounds in Ireland, the USA, and beyond, the QBI/SBI Symposium on Molecular Networks of Cancer and Other Diseases is a three day in person event not to be missed. Following a hugely successful virtual symposium in 2020 and an online seminar series between institutes, the aim of this meeting is to bring together health research communities from the USA and Ireland to explore new collaborations and funding opportunities.

​This event is organised by Professor Walter Kolch of Systems Biology Ireland (SBI), UCD and Professor Nevan Krogan of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI), UCSF. Register here to attend and be among the first to learn more event details as they are released in the coming weeks. 

​The symposium will be held at O'Reilly Hall on the University College Dublin campus and will include research talks, panel discussions, lunchtime sessions and much more. The event is free but seating is limited. The first 100 registrants will be invited to join the speakers on October 17 for a social event in Dublin's city centre, concluding in the iconic Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse.
