bullet Welcome to the Nexus for July 2018

In this edition of the Nexus, we would like to remind you that abstract submissions are closing on August 9th for the TCRN Symposium. We are also very pleased to open the registrations for the upcoming Introduction to Health Economics Workshop. We encourage members to get involved and attend both events!

We would like to congratulate two TCRN leaders for being awarded funding from the Cancer CAG.

We profile a recent recipient of our conference and professional development grants and announce the two TCRN members for receiving funding for 2018 Round 2.

There are many events coming up that may be of interest such as the Professor Neville Hacker Symposium, honouring his 32 years of tireless contribution to gynaecological cancer surgery and research, The Inaugural Australian Precision Oncology Symposium (free registration for PhD students!) and the 2018 Premier's Awards for Outstanding Cancer Research.

Finally, we highlight some fascinating publications from TCRN members.
