Program:
You are cordially invited to participate in the second biennial meeting on Cancer Genetics & Tumor Suppressor Genes which will be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin on Wednesday, August 19, 1998, and will conclude with lunch on Sunday, August 23. The specific goal of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, genetic and biochemical approaches to the analysis of tumor suppressor genes as they participate in the development of cancer. Junior and senior researchers will join to discuss their latest research findings and technical approaches toward the analysis of tumor suppressor gene function and cancer genetics.

• Cancer Genetics
• Animal Models
• Control of Cell Cycle & Growth
• Tumor Suppressor Genes
• Tumor Progression Models
• Transcription
• Apoptosis
• The Role of Viruses in Cancer
• Tumor Suppressor and Oncogenes as Targets for Cancer Therapy
