The Biology of Cancer: Microenvironment, Metastasis & Therapeutics

 
  December 08, 2010  
     
 
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
April 26-30, 2011


You are cordially invited to participate in a new meeting on The Biology of Cancer: Microenvironment, Metastasis & Therapeutics to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York. The meeting will begin on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, and will conclude with lunch on Saturday, April 30. The specific goal of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various aspects of the biology of cancer. The meeting will alternate annually with the CSHL meeting on Mechanisms & Models of Cancer.

The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions consisting of eight or nine 15-minute talks per session, selected from the abstracts, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there will be two poster sessions, held in the afternoons. The organizers will decide the suitability of each abstract for oral or poster presentation, but please specify if you prefer a poster.
