RNA Biology and Cancer
22nd Pezcoller Symposium, Trento, Italy
Trento
The program of the Symposium has been developed by Dr Rene Bernards (National Cancer Institute, Amsterdam), Dr Witold Filipowicz (Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel) and Dr David Livingston (Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston); they will co-chair the meeting in cooperation with Dr Enrico Mihich (Dana Farber Cancer Institute). The focus of the Symposium will be on the functional importance of various non-coding RNA molecules in cancer.
The topics to be discussed will include the opportunities offered by small RNA as tools for cancer drug development, the role of non-coding RNAs, the biochemistry of small RNAs, the function of micro-RNA in cancer, and RNAs as diagnostics and therapeutics in cancer. Each 30 minute talk by the 18 invited speakers will be followed by 25 minutes of discussion, thus providing ample opportunity for interaction and cross-fertilization among participants. A session of posters in the areas discussed at the Symposium will be included.
