🧬✨ Meet the incredible speakers joining us at FLY-NEUROCAN Workshop 2026!

Get ready to learn from a remarkable lineup of world-class scientists, innovators, and thought leaders who are pushing the frontiers of neurodegeneration and cancer research using Drosophila.

Whether your passion lies in neuroscience, cancer biology, genetics, molecular biology, or translational research, FLY-NEUROCAN 2026 is where ideas meet opportunity.
📅 15–19 June 2026 (Week 1 - Neurodegenerative Diseases)
📅 22–26 June 2026 (Week 2 - Cancer Research Track)
📍 Ibadan, Nigeria

For students, early-career researchers, or established scientists, this is your chance to learn directly from the people shaping the future of biomedical research.

Want to be a part of this? We still have a few paid slots open for physical participation; reach out to [email protected].
