BEACON
2026
Our Mission Statement
Advancing computational oncology in India through early-career collaborations and expert mentorship.
About
BEACON 26 is the first meeting of its kind, with the goal of seeding and nurturing connections among early-career researchers (senior undergraduates, Masters’ and PhD students, post-doctoral fellows, early career faculty/industry scientists) working in computational oncology in India. To achieve this, young researchers from across India are invited to present their exciting research to their colleagues and engage in scientific discussions. The meeting will also feature mentor talks and panel discussions by established researchers, who will share their career trajectories and experiences in this rapidly evolving field. We expect the meeting to enable participants to form mentorship connections that will not only support their academic and professional development but also contribute to the growth of computational oncology network in India.
