The University of Oxford and Sichuan University Huaxi Joint Centre for Gastrointestinal Cancer is an international collaboration that seeks to develop an integrated cancer plan with a focus on gastrointestinal cancer.

The integration of molecular and sequencing technology within research has given profound insights into the realm of cancer biology and its treatment. Designed to offer a unique opportunity to delve into the latest advancements in diagnosis and treatment of GI cancers, this seminar series brings together leading UK and junior researchers to share their insights on a diverse range of research topics and provides a platform for insightful discussions.
