Welcome colleagues,

The annual Global Academic Programs (GAP) Conference is a forum where MD Anderson Cancer Center and its global network of hospitals, health systems and research institutions collaborate to develop impactful, innovative ideas and research that help MD Anderson achieve its mission to end cancer globally.

This three-day scientific conference centers our attention on the theme – New Frontiers – Leading Inspired Cancer Care. We are looking forward to highlighting global collaborations that bring to light clinical and translational research, population health and government engagement initiatives.

The lineup of poster, plenary and concurrent sessions will offer a unique opportunity for you to learn firsthand about the discoveries and innovations from members of our network and MD Anderson faculty.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne May 11 – May 13, 2020.
