You are cordially invited to participate in the fourteenth biennial meeting on Mechanisms & Models of Cancer to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will begin on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, and will conclude with lunch on Saturday, August 20.
Sample Schedule Outline
The specific goal of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, genetic, biochemical and animal model approaches to the analysis of cancer. Junior and senior researchers will join to discuss their latest research findings and technical approaches toward the analysis of cancer models and mechanisms.
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evening sessions consisting of eight or nine 15-minute talks per session, selected from the abstracts, principally on unpublished work.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. The organizers will decide the suitability of each abstract for oral or poster presentation, but please specify if you prefer a poster.
Topics:
- Experimental Therapeutics
- Stem Cells, Lineage & Plasticity
- Genomics, Heterogeneity & Cancer Evolution
