The 5th Stat4Onc Annual Symposium (2022)

Symposium Objectives

The Stat4Onc Annual Symposium is a venue for interdisciplinary dialogue among clinical and quantitative scientists about cancer clinical trials. We seek participation by researchers from academia, industry, and regulatory agencies to share new research, discuss novel ideas, ask questions, and provide solutions for cancer clinical trials. Oncologists and statisticians can exchange views on trial design and conduct, drug development, and translation to patient care. Topics for this symposium include training for new generation of statisticians and clinicians, translational and precision oncology, master protocols, pediatric oncology research and drug development, populational cancer research, biomarkers and subgroups, real world data/evidence, and engagement of under-representative population in oncology research.

We want to thank to the NCI’s support to this conference through an NCI R13 grant award, Department of Public Health at The University of Chicago, Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford Center for Innovative Study Design, UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence for Regulatory Science and Innovation, our clinical sponsor Journal of Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology, and generous industry sponsorship from AbbVie (gold), Boehringer Ingelheim (gold), Astellas (silver), BeiGene (silver), Eli Lilly (silver), Sanofi (silver), and Takeda (silver).

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.
