Webinar: The Gut Microbiome in Cancer Therapies & Development
Dive into the fascinating interplay between the gut microbiome and cancer in Proteintech's online event.
Online
Join us for our upcoming Early Career Researcher (ECR) event and dive into the fascinating interplay between the gut microbiome and cancer. Our 5 panelists will share their groundbreaking work on how the trillions of microbes residing in our digestive tract can influence cancer development, progression, and response to cancer therapies, giving valuable insights into potential microbiome-based interventions.
