Cell Symposium: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Legacy: Multi-Omic Studies in Cancer is organized by Elsevier and will be held during Sep 27 - 29, 2018 at Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.
Conference Description:
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has been a landmark effort to generate comprehensive, multidimensional maps of genomic changes on over 11,000 cancer cases from 33 different cancer types. This symposia will peer into the future of multi-omic studies in cancer, and highlight TCGA’s legacy to the field. The meeting will feature the latest advances on the genomic underpinnings of cancer, discuss the ongoing revolution in cancer classification, and showcase recent progress toward therapeutic targeting. Our aim is to bring together participants from both within and outside of the TCGA Network to stimulate exciting discussions, foster collaborations, and accelerate the translation of basic research discoveries to new cancer treatments.
Symposium themes:
• Selected TCGA Project Vignettes
• Biological Discoveries
• Translational Insights
• Pan Cancer Analyses
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
