About the 2023 Spatial Analytics of Cancer Challenge
The goal of this 2-day Challenge is to bring together clinicians, scientists, engineers, and technologists to explore new ideas and catalyze interdisciplinary collaborative research to address cancer prevention, early diagnosis, and optimal treatment.
Participants are encouraged to develop new collaborations and submit brief research proposals for the seed fund competition on new projects stemming from the Challenge discussions.
