As the touchstone of the cancer research community, the AACR Annual Meeting is the place where science and medicine come together—where cancer scientists, clinicians, other healthcare professionals, survivors, and patient advocates gather to discuss the latest breakthroughs, make connections, and forge new collaborations.

Program Committee Chairs Lillian L. Siu, MD, FAACR, and Matthew G. Vander Heiden, MD, PhD, have planned sessions that reflect the critical importance of advancing cancer research from the bench to the clinic and back.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with peers, learn skills for career advancement, and enjoy live music from fellow researchers and physicians. Both in-person and virtual registrants will have access to live and on-demand sessions for six months after the meeting.

A plethora of Educational Sessions and Methods Workshops will be available exclusively for attendees who have added the Educational Program Pass to their Annual Meeting registrations.

A variety of lectures, panel discussions, and one-on-one chats with experts will help early-career researchers find mentors, apply for grants, and more.

Sessions showcasing exciting advances in hematologic malignancies—including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma—will be featured throughout the Annual Meeting program.

The 2025 class joins a distinguished group of more than 300 scientific pioneers who have made significant and ongoing contributions toward the AACR’s mission to prevent and cure all cancers.
