PROMISE would like to sincerely thank everyone who joined us for the 2nd PROMISE Research Day on September 23, 2026!

With more than 70 attendees, including researchers, trainees, staff, and members of our broader pediatric and AYA oncology community, the day was a wonderful opportunity to share research, exchange ideas, and strengthen connections across our community.

The program featured 23 abstract submissions and 17 poster presentations, along with oral and rapid-fire presentations highlighting innovative research across pediatric and AYA oncology.

We extend our special thanks to Dr. Anita Villani and Dr. Sonia Cellot for sharing their expertise and delivering engaging presentations. Their contributions provided valuable perspectives and inspiration for our research community.

We would also like to thank our co-chairs, Ms. Zeba Tayabee and Ms. Chantale Thurston, for helping guide the program and supporting a successful and engaging Research Day.
