Molecular Biology in Clinical Oncology Workshop
Workshop - Snowmass, CO, United States
The goal of this workshop is to provide a substantive overview of the emerging role that molecular biology plays in the clinical world. The organizers are primarily seeking students who are motivated to build a career in translational cancer research, i.e., the exciting research front at the interface between basic research and clinical investigations.
Exciting new research on the molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and differentiation has resulted in rapid expansion of our understanding of the fundamental nature of cancer cells and has suggested valuable new approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. These advances in the applications of basic research findings to clinical cancer research and patient care have led to new therapeutic and prognostic tests, and promise even greater innovations in the future. The purpose of this workshop is to accelerate this process by increasing the clinical oncologist’s awareness and working knowledge of molecular biology concepts and techniques. Participants will benefit greatly from attending this workshop, because participants will be able to interact closely with experts in the field of molecular biology; discuss relevant literature in molecular biology; better design and implement experiments, especially those incorporating cutting-edge technology; communicate more effectively with their basic science colleagues; and apply the advances of molecular biology to the problems of clinical oncology based on the background and hands-on laboratory training received at this workshop.
