			Conference History
			
				The idea of a unique conference that
		brings statisticians and oncologists together to
		discuss the challenges in oncology was initiated in
		2015 during discussions between Yuan Ji (University of
		Chicago) and Professors Ying Lu (Stanford). The first
		symposium was held in 2017 at Stanford
		University . It was sponsored jointly by Stanford
		University and the University of Chicago. The second
		symposium was held in 2018 at the
		University of Chicago. At that time, we extended
		our partnership to include the University of
		Connecticut and chose OncoStat as the symposium
		name. The third symposium was held in 2019 at the
		University of Connecticut and renamed our
		symposium Stat4Onc. In 2020, we further extended our
		partnership to include the Oregon Health and Science
		University. This symposium is intended to be an annual
		event that rotates its location between Stanford
		University, the University of Chicago, the University
		of Connecticut and the Oregon Health Science
		University. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020
		Symposium was postponed to 2021. In 2021, we held our
		4th Stat4Onc Symposium virtually by  Stanford
		University.  Also, in 2021, our symposium received
		an  R13 grant award  by the National Cancer Institute
		(NCI). Officially, our symposium is now partially
		funded by NCI. For the safety of our participants and
		in view of current pandemic condition, this year we
		decide to host the 2022 Symposium in a hybrid
		format at The University of Chicago. It will on May 5-6, 2022.
