Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: FASEB 2017 SRC Hematologic Malignancies

 

This SRC focuses on bringing together biochemists, geneticists, molecular biologists and clinicians interested in the pathophysiology of the leukemias and lymphomas, and the development of novel therapies for these diseases. Leukemia and lymphoma has provided a number of key paradigms for molecularly targeted cancer therapy, as illustrated by the remarkable success of all-trans-retinoic acid for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia and tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia. New and promising small-molecule compounds and antibodies targeting epigenetic regulators, surface receptors and downstream signaling pathways are currently under development and will be discussed at this meeting. Added to these examples of targeted therapy, immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibition and modified T cell-based therapies have emerged as important future anti-leukemia/lymphoma treatments. 

The meeting will cover a broad range of topics, including hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, identification and study of novel oncogenes and tumor suppressors, mechanisms of action of products of chromosomal translocations, normal and pathologic signaling in hematopoietic cells, aberrant epigenetic/transcriptional control, genomics of hematological malignancies, the role of tumor microenvironment, and the development of new experimental models of hematologic malignancies.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: International Oncology Summit

Cancer is a group of diseases that is caused due to abnormal cell growth and their potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. There are more than 100 types of cancer including breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. Symptoms vary depending on the type. Cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery.Oncology Summit is the great platform for everybody to put forth their ideas of Cancer research. 

The main theme of the conference is “Together for a Better Tomorrow”.  So, let’s all join together to find the solution.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: 5th Plant Genomics & Gene Editing Congress: USA

 

A key focus of the event is facilitating collaboration between senior representatives from industry and academia. In terms of content, the conference will examine the latest NGS, ‘omic’ and gene editing technologies being used for progressing plant-based research, as well other genetic-focused aspects of plant science.

Plant research has transformed dramatically over the last few years as a result of revolutionary breakthroughs and cost reductions in sequencing technology. Successful sequencing of many plants, along with the improvement of biological data sets, have given plant scientists the tools and knowledge to make exciting developments to benefit agriculture. Novel gene editing technologies like CRISPR will take this research even further.
