Holden's Annual Research Retreat
Every year, Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center hosts a research retreat. This year's retreat will be held on June 15, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Coralville, Iowa.
This event brings together staff and faculty from the University of Iowa and beyond, including principal investigators, clinicians, core facility directors, residents, postdoctoral fellows, research technicians, and students interested in laboratory, clinical, and population-based cancer research.
The retreat provides an opportunity for researchers, clinicians, and trainees to present their work, learn about the work of others, and foster collaboration across disciplines.
