Thursday, November 28, an exceptional evening will bring together scientific experts as well as around a hundred participants to discuss the impact of pesticides on the cancer.
Co-organized by the International Cancer Research Center (Circ), the Léon-Bérard center (CLB) and the Cancéropôle Clara, this event will present a global overview of the current situation of research on the links between pesticides and cancer, a subject which arouses many fears and fantasies.
The evening, taking place at the Circ, in the heart of the Lyon-Gerland biodistrict, will begin at 6 p.m.
Cancer and pesticides: what research is being carried out in Lyon?
From 6:45 p.m., a conference plenary will bring together two experts: Mary Schubauer-Beriganhead of the “data synthesis and classification” branch at Circ as well asAstrid Coste, epidemiologist at the CLB, in order to take stock, in an accessible format, of the projects carried out for more than ten years in the metropolis of Lyon.
It will also be an opportunity to sort out the truth from the fiction on the effects of pesticidesthrough a question time planned at the end of the conference. The presentation will be followed by a tour of the stands, allowing participants to interact with the researchers present in a more informal way.
