Event
|Updated
Join us for an open seminar and workshop on Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and Cancer on October 7th. This seminar provides a unique opportunity for researchers, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders to come together and exchange ideas regarding MoBa and cancer research, with a focus on the impact on the well-being of children.
During the seminar, we will host in-depth presentations on the latest findings and advancements in MoBa and cancer presented by both Norwegian and international researchers. Additionally, towards the end of the seminar, we will open the floor for further discussion to explore potential research questions and collaborations.
We encourage all individuals with an interest in MoBa, cancer, exposures, and chronic diseases to participate and contribute their expertise to this important event.
Please allow a five-minute Q&A for each session.
