The postgraduate school Molecular Medicine (MolMed) has been organizing the Basic and Translational Oncology course for many years now – in narrow cooperation with the school Medical Genetic Center (MGC) and with contributions from many speakers from the LUMC. Besides that, many speakers from the NCI will participate. The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of translational cancer research. The course is directed primarily at PhD students and postdocs in MolMed and MGC, but others (e.g., students and technicians of LUMC and Erasmus MC) are welcome too. The maximum number of participants is 40. 

The program is set up logically in 5 steps, one step a day: 

·         Pathology, diagnostics & pathways in cancer

·         Biology of the cancer cell: Genetics

·         Invasion, metastasis & inflammation

·         Tumor Immunology; Clinical practice: targeted therapies

·         Epidemiology of cancer; personalised medicine; end-of-life interventions

Workshop  “How to make a video about your own research”.

LUMC, Building 2

15 (afternoon) and 29 November (half day) and 13 December (afternoon), 2017

This workshop is a new initiative of the MGC and will be offered to you for free. There are 8 places available and you will work in duo’s. There is a preference for duo’s working at the same research group, obviously because both participants can benefit from the movie, but this is not a prerequisite. Therefore, you can either sign up for this workshop as a duo or you can sign up as an individual (not knowing if you can use the movie afterwards).

This first edition is already fully booked but if you are interested you can send an email to Nivard@lumc.nl

Animated Science: explaining research in a short video

Would you like to know how to make an explanation video about your own research?

Bruno van Wayenburg, animator and science writer, and Astrid Smit, trainer at De Perskamer and science writer, will provide you with the tools and tricks to make these videos.

The workshop consists of three (half) days

On the first day of this workshop (afternoon only), Bruno and Astrid will tell you about science communication and how to prepare an explanation video (from storyboard and script to recording a voiceover, drawing illustrations, editing and sound-effects). On the second day of the workshop (whole day) , you will be starting on your own animation. Afterwards you get two weeks to finish your video and present your video to the rest of the group on the third day of the workshop (afternoon only).
