Valerie Weaver UCSF, USA
An interactive session where our expert will share personal and professional experiences and advice.
Dr. Valerie Weaver, Ph.D., is the Director of the Center for Bioengineering and Tissue Regeneration in the Department of Surgery. She has over 20 years of experience in leading interdisciplinary research in oncology, including leadership of significant programme projects merging approaches in the physical/engineering sciences and biology.
Dr. Weaver has been awarded many distinctions for her work demonstrating the critical importance of tissue structure in the treatment response of tumors, including the prestigious Department of Defense Era of Hope Breast Cancer Scholar Award for her innovative interdisciplinary research efforts on the effect of mechanical force on breast cancer progression and treatment response.
Dr. Weaver is the TMEN-BCC co-PI with Dr. Bergers, as well as the leader of Project 3,in which she is testing the hypothesis that the mechanoproperties of SVZ-derived GBM, together with elevated cranial pressure and ECM stiffness, promote GBM aggressiveness and recurrence, in part by affecting the vascular and tumor stem cell compartment.
Conference participants will be sent a list of the attendees who opted-in to sharing their details. You can use this list to contact fellow conference goers to start a discussion about their presentation, abstract or maybe a question they asked during a talk.
Follow us on Twitter for updates @EACRnews and engage with the conference with #eacrGoodbyeFlatBiology. You could use this to promote your virtual poster, to comment on a talk you enjoyed or to continue the discussion with other participants.
The experience of being in the poster hall as an avatar was great, I really loved it! It is amazing what is technically possible.
Easiliy connecting with others when literally standing next so someone gave it a real-life touch. I had nice chats with colleagues and friends and met new interesting people.
All in one, the best e-poster experience I've ever had since the pandemic happened.
