Carole, a PhD candidate in the Cancer Research Group, presented her study on trends in the incidence of Burkitt lymphoma among people living with HIV in South Africa between 2005 and 2021.

The Graduate School for Health Sciences (www.ghs.unibe.ch) holds an annual symposium that provides PhD students with an opportunity to present their research to their peers. During their doctoral studies, PhD candidates participate twice and present their work both through a poster and a talk. Each year, awards are given for the best poster and the best oral presentation.
