Poster session  

Seven talented new researchers were honoured at Danish Cancer Research Days 2025.

The postersession at Danish Cancer Research Days is a key forum for scientific dialogue. Its aim is to showcase a broad spectrum of ongoing cancer research and support knowledge sharing across regions and medical specialties. 

From the submitted abstracts, more than 100 researchers will be invited to participate with a poster and a short oral presentation of their study during the conference poster session. 

All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary judging committee, which will select the studies to be presented at the conference.

Best Poster Award  

Last year’s ‘Best Poster Award’ winner, Line Schmidt Tarpgaard from the Department of Oncology at Odense University Hospital.
