The Cancer Epidemiology Research Group at the Centre for Public Health invite you to attend the Professor Liam Murray Cancer Epidemiology symposium on Wednesday 19 January 2022, 10.30 am – 1.30 pm in honour of our colleague and former Director of the Centre for Public Health, Professor Liam Murray.

Professor Murray had a distinguished career in Public Health and Epidemiology, and some 20 years of his career was dedicated to furthering knowledge and insights into Cancer Epidemiology research. As the founder of the Cancer Epidemiology research group, Professor Murray demonstrated many noble qualities and contributed greatly to: research excellence, collaboration, and an unrivalled talent for identifying and mentoring early career researchers. To honour these contributions and qualities of our fondly remembered colleague, future Cancer Epidemiology Research Group annual retreats will continue to include Memoriam sessions dedicated to Professor Murray.

The symposium will celebrate international collaboration with a particular spotlight on QUB-Vietnam partnership which Professor Murray played a key role in establishing. The symposium will be held virtually and will feature a presentation from our distinguished guest, Professor Hoang Van Minh from the Hanoi University of Public Health.
