The Goodman Cancer Student Society is pleased to announce the return of our annual GCI Research Day on December 5th, 2024, an in-person, day-long event filled with short talks, poster presentations, and 3-minute theses, followed by a keynote lecture by Dr. Brad Nelson (Scientific Co-Director of BC Cancer's Immunotherapy Program, Professor at the University of Victoria and UBC) and a Wine & Cheese.
