Conferences
I have presented my research at 43 international and national congresses/conferences/symposia in 7 different countries of the world. I have given 7 invited speaker talks and 20 oral communications, I have presented 22 posters and I have won 3 awards for best poster and 2 for best talk. If you would like to venture into marine contagious cancers, do not hesitate to contact me! I always do my best to accommodate invitations and events to share and discuss this topic!
