Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
July 19- July 25, 2012
This one week discussion course will provide a clinical overview of brain tumors and emphasize molecular mechanisms involved in the growth and development of brain tumors with special emphasis on neural differentiation, signaling mechanisms, DNA replication, chromatin modulation, stem cells, mouse models, genomics, imaging techniques, genetically modified mouse techniques, nanotechnology, mechanism-based therapeutic strategies, and biobanks and ethical concerns. Attendees will be able to interact with senior investigators on a one-to-one basis in an informal environment. All non-faculty students will be provided with a generous stipend depending on stated need. Applications are invited from medical and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and clinicians and scientists.
Topics include: Clinical Overview of Brain Tumors Neuro-oncology/Surgery/Radiology/Pathology Nervous System Pre-Disposition Syndromes Genetic Alterations in Sporadic Brain Tumors Chromatin Remodeling DNA Replication Extracellular Matrix and Migration Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells Neuronal, Glial, and Oligodendrocyte Differentiation Genetically Engineered Mouse System Detection Methods including Nanotechnology Mechanism-based Therapeutics Epidemiology NCI strategies and funding mechanisms
