2-3 September

This meeting aims to explore some of the pathways, mechanisms and molecules involved in cancer, many of which may be potentially useful as targets for either therapy or diagnosis of cancer. Topics will range from targets for cancer drugs and new diagnostic approaches in cancer, immunological approaches to treating cancer, and the investigation of gene networks in cancer, as well as processes in cancer such as cell immortalization and deregulation of the cell cycle. Speakers have been chosen from a range of international experts within these areas, and so this meeting promises to be a smorgasboard of the latest developments in in the field of cancer research.

Session themes are;

  • Targets for cancer drugs (coordinated by Peter Shepherd)
  • Tumour proteases, tumour metastasis and new diagnostics (coordinated by Mike Eccles)
  • Cancer Immunology (coordinated by Sarah Young)
  • Cell immortalization in cancer (coordinated by Antony Braithwaite)
  • Oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes and cell cycle control (coordinated by Mike Eccles)
  • Melanoma Molecular Biology (coordinated by Aaron Jeffs)
  • Cancer gene networks, gene expression and gene regulation (coordinated by Aaron Jeffs)
