Très cordialement, Thomas Pradeu (ImmunoConcept, CNRS & Univ. Bordeaux) ****** The PhilInBioMed Institute organizes the *4th Philosophy of Cancer Workshop* *Bordeaux, France, December 7th and 8th, 2021* (presentation here <https://www.philinbiomed.org/event/fourth-philosophy-of-cancer-biology-workshop/> ) Speakers: - Maria Blasco <https://www.cnio.es/en/personas/maria-a-blasco-2/> (Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas, Madrid, Spain) - Andrew Ewald <https://cellbio.jhmi.edu/people/andrew-ewald-ph-d/> (Johns Hopkins, USA) - Nicholas McGranahan <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/cancer/research/department-oncology/cancer-genome-evolution-research-group> (London, UK) - Anya Plutynski <https://philosophy.wustl.edu/people/anya-plutynski> (Washington University, USA, via Zoom) - Eric Solary <https://www.gustaveroussy.fr/fr/eric-solary> (Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France) The organizing committee welcomes abstracts for 20 minutes’ oral presentations on subjects that explore a problem with a conceptual, theoretical, methodological and/or philosophical approach and directly address questions relevant to cancer research. Examples of questions that this workshop will raise include: How is the complexity of cancer addressed in scientific and medical practices? Is there an underlying logic of cancer? What are the epistemic implications of different approaches to cancer? How are questions about the ontology of cancer related to methodological issues? To what extent are questions concerning the nature of cancer intertwined with issues concerning diagnostics and/or treatments? How are new approaches, such as cancer genomics, organoids, and organ-on-chip technologies, influencing cancer research? The call is open to philosophers, scientists, medical doctors, and more generally to everyone interested in the analysis of conceptual, theoretical, and methodological problems of cancer biology. Abstract submission: Abstracts should be between 1000-1500 words long and must be submitted (here <https://philofcancer.sciencesconf.org/>) before *October 17th, 2021*. Notifications will be sent by *November 2nd, 2021*. Stipends can be granted to junior scholars without funding (please ask when submitting your abstract).
