EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Defining and Defeating Metastasis

This conference has been CANCELLED.

EMBO | EMBL Symposium: Defining and Defeating Metastasis is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Jul 19 - 22, 2020 at EMBL Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.

Description:
This symposium will cover emerging key concepts of latent metastasis and dissemination of tumour cells including evolution and genetic diversity of metastasis, circulating tumor cells, stemness, dormancy and stromal reprogramming, transcriptional and epigenetic control, motility and invasive signalling, metastatic heterogeneity, EMT and plasticity, immune evasion and metabolic adaptations. The meeting will provide unique interdisciplinary exchange on current approaches and future collaborations on metastasis and its therapeutic challenges.

Session Topics:
• Metastasis signaling and latency
• Metastasis initiating cells, circulating tumor cells
• Motility and invasion
• Transcriptional and epigenetic control of metastasis
• Metastasis heterogeneity, EMT and plasticity
• Metastasis imaging, tumor microenvironment and immune

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
