Targeting Cancer Drug Resistance

Conference - Chicago, Illinois, United States

Targeting Cancer Drug Resistance is the world's only commercially focused meeting that specifically addresses your priorities as a drug developer in understanding and overcoming mechanisms of cancer drug resistance.

The agenda has been carefully designed by experts from the likes of GSK, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Gilead and MD Anderson, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. These industry leaders are focused on overcoming the key barriers currently preventing better drugs for cancer patients and they are coming to our meeting to share their knowledge and experience with you. Leave this meeting armed with information to nurture the therapies, that you are investing in, and delay or overcome cancer drug resistance.

The meeting will take an in-depth look at:

Biology of the tumor and mechanisms of resistance. Learn how you can utilize the most current knowledge to develop therapies that are better at targeting drug resistance.
Combination therapies. Discover how to test for combination quickly and effectively. Be part of industry-leading discussions about drug administration approaches that will optimize patient safety and drug efficacy.
Cancer stem cells. Explore their role in resistance mechanisms, how you can target them in the clinic and how this can reduce the chance of patient relapse.
Resistance Diagnosis. Increase your accuracy and efficiency to maximise drug efficacy and minimise toxicity and waste.
