Thematic Programs

Cancer – from Biology to Acceptance

Information

The goal of this first symposium of the program “Cancer- from Biology to Acceptance” is to gather top class researchers on Hippo Pathway, RASopathy, Cell Cycle, Transcriptional Regulation, and Oncology together to present their research and discuss about trends on Cancer etiology. Furthermore, this symposium also aims to encourage young researchers to develop their works on cancer research through the discussion and presentation during the sessions.
