- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are tumors that come from specific cells in the gut and are primarily caused by certain genetic mutations; surgical removal is the best option for localized cases, while targeted drug therapies are the standard for management.

As part of the European Bioanalysis Forum's continued commitment to develop young scientists beyond their scientific skills, we also focus on soft skills and a community responsibility during the Young Scientist Symposia, with the Science Café. In previous years, we have focused on topics such as sustainability (green lab) or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on career development. At the ninth Young Scientist Symposium, the Science Café roundtables focused on the work-life balance and how caring for it can be beneficial for both the individual and the company.
