Conference on personalised cancer therapy

Barcelona: 3-4 December 2012

The organisers of the IDIBELL Cancer Conference (ICC) on Personalized Cancer Medicine – Manel Esteller, George Thomas, Cristina Muñoz- Pinedo and Sara Kozma – will present 21speakers for the event, all leading oncologists and cancer researchers, particularly those working in the study of genetic and epigenetic defects leading to the selection of cancer patients for new drug therapies. The meeting aims to highlight the latest understanding of biological mechanisms and natural history of cancer, thus providing novel targets for therapy, as well as to discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in the stratification of oncology patents according to the recently described molecular markers. Special focus: Epigenetics and DNA Repair and the metabolism and cell signalling areas with the updated clinical applications. Details: http://bocemtium.com
