Ph.D. Thesis Award

Dear Colleagues,

As the Editor-in-Chief of Cancers, it is my great pleasure to announce the winners of the Cancers 2022 PhD Thesis Award. This award is for two PhD students or recently qualified PhDs who have produced a highly anticipated thesis with great academic potential.

The award has been granted to:

“Uncovering Novel Prognostic and Predictive Epigenetic Biomarkers in Malignant Testicular Germ Cell Tumors” By João Pedro da Silva Machado Lobo, University of Porto, Portugal

“Metastatic Recurrence in Colorectal Cancer Arises from Residual EMP1+ Cells” By Adrià Cañellas Socias, University of Barcelona, Spain

Each winner will receive CHF 800, a certificate, and a chance to publish a paper free of charge after peer review in Cancers in 2023.

On behalf of the evaluation committee, I would like to congratulate the winners on their accomplishments. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the applicants for submitting their exceptional theses and the Award Committee for voting and helping with this award.
