Welcome to the Paediatric Cancer Research and Precision Medicine Conference 2024 (PCR-PM 2024) taking place in Bergen from the 14th to the 15th of November 2024.
We would like to provide a venue for all the scientists working in the field of paediatric cancer research and precision medicine to share their knowledge and experience at this 2-day conference in Bergen.
The primary objective of this meeting is to stimulate national collaboration and facilitate interaction between researchers and clinicians working with paediatric cancers. The overall goal of the network is to promote paediatric cancer research of high quality in Norway. The conference shall mainly include talks from the two invited international speakers and research groups working in paediatric cancer. This conference shall provide excellent opportunities for collaboration and networking and open new ideas and avenues in the field of paediatric cancer.

Welcome Note
Welcome note from Prof. Lars Herfindal, Department of Clinical Science, UiB, and Maria Winther Gunnes, section chief and section leader at the Children’s and Youth Clinic Haukeland and Children’s Department for Cancer and Blood Diseases at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet.
“Bergen is proud to host this year’s conference on Paediatric Cancer Research and Precision Medicine. This conference has since the first meeting was hosted in Bergen become the most important space in Norway to share knowledge, initiate collaboration, be inspired, and continue working to increase the knowledge on underlying factors for childhood cancer as well as improving the outcome of this vulnerable patient population. Norway is a small country, and, as such, the need for a platform for collaboration is even greater.
We look forward to hearing about the exciting research funded by the Norwegian Childhood Cancer Society, as well as learning from the eminent invited speakers who are international experts in their field.
We thank the Norwegian Childhood Cancer Society for sponsoring the conference, and for being a continuous support for the research presented here.”
