This year at the Clinical Cancer Genomics Conference

Hosted by Genomics England, this year's Clinical Cancer Genomics Conference is the second in an annual series that brings together clinicians, researchers, scientists and healthcare professionals from across Europe.

Building on the success of last year's inaugural meeting in Amsterdam, this conference will highlight the latest advances in clinical cancer genomics, foster collaboration, and explore how genomics is transforming cancer diagnosis, treatment and patient care.
