Welcome to IACR 2023

The 42nd annual conference of the Indian Association for Cancer Research (IACR) is being held at ACTREC-TMC from the 12th to 16th of January, 2023. The focus of the meeting is “Bringing basic and transitional research to the clinic: Challenges and Opportunities”. This conference will celebrate and discuss the advances made in cancer biology over the last twenty years while focusing on how to bridge the gaps between laboratory research and the clinic.


We have made huge strides in our understanding of the cellular and molecular processes underlying tumor progression. However, this has not been completely translated to better patient care. In an effort to bridge the gap between basic and translational research and medical practice, the focus of this meeting is to bring clinicians and scientists under the same roof to identify areas and propose ideas that might lead to better outcomes for patients. In addition, this conference will expose budding scientists and clinicians to ideas that will inform their research and hopefully their clinical practice.


As part of this years’ meeting we will also be conducting a one-day workshop for students and post-doctoral fellows on ethics, data integrity.
