Drug Resistance Workshop 2010

Venue: 
Wed 12 May, Hammersmith Conference Centre, London

The Drug Resistance Workshop 2010 will be held on Wed 12 May 2010 at the Hammersmith Conference Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London. For more information about the meeting and a registration package please contact ernesto.yague@imperial.ac.uk Chemotherapy is still one of the major therapies used to treat cancer. Unfortunately, resistance to chemotherapeutic treatment remains the main cause of cancer mortality. Notable advances have been done in the last years to understand the basic mechanisms underlying drug resistance and its implications in the clinical practice.

Translating clinical proteomics into clinical practice

Venue: 
Wellcome Trust Conference Centre, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK

The mechanisms needed to ensure clinical proteomic discoveries are translated to the clinic are a major challenge, both in defining them and establishing them. The goal of this conference is to discuss the most effective ways in which discoveries such as novel biomarkers can be integrated with current clinical laboratory medicine for the benefit of the patient.

13th Annual PET/CT meeting: PET/CT in the practice of oncology

Venue: 
Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE

Aim: This year’s meeting will particularly concentrate on the patterns of spread of common cancers and recent changes. It will also provide an overview of current and emerging applications of PET/CT in oncology. Objectives: The two day conference on PET/CT will bring together leading European experts in the field of PET/CT.

12th European Workshop on Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics of Solid Tumors

Venue: 
Nijmegen, The Netherlands

The European Workshop on Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics of Solid Tumors is one of the most relevant cancer research meetings in Europe. The workshop will take place at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. During previous workshops we have witnessed the emergence of novel insights into the role of chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations in the development of both hereditary and non-hereditary human solid tumors. Now we are moving into a new era in which comprehensive sequence-based information on vast numbers of tumors can be obtained.
