HK-SH Tripartite Joint Liver Forum 2024

A tripartite joint forum of SKLLR with two prominent laboratories in Shanghai: “State Key Laboratory of Oncogenes and Related Genes, Shanghai Cancer Institute” and “Eastern Hepatobiliary  Surgery Hospital, National Center for Liver Cancer”, was held on 12 June 2024 (Wednesday) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

The joint forum has been a very useful platform for academic exchange on liver disease and liver cancer research. It was the annual event among our SKLLR and two centers in Shanghai. The forum was held in one-conference-two-site mode, i.e. connecting online with Mainland organizers, along with local onsite participation in Shanghai and Hong Kong.  We were delighted to have academic exchange again via both face-to-face and online platform.

In this joint forum 2024, 12 representatives from three laboratories gave presentations and 6 of them were from our SKLLR.
