The team organized the first-ever medical genomics course at IARC. The course welcomed 19 participants with diverse backgrounds in bioinformatics and medicine, from IARC, the CanBioS doctoral program, and INSA Lyon Engineering School. It offered an intensive one-week training on cutting-edge sequencing technologies (single-cell, spatial), Artificial Intelligence, and multi-modal data integration. Participants also had the opportunity to work on real research projects relevant to the team and presented their findings in a mini-symposium held at IARC. The symposium was followed by a tour of the agency’s laboratories and a networking and career event.

We would like to extend our thanks to all the instructors and participants, with whom we had the privilege of engaging in both meaningful scientific and personal interactions!
