BIOMEDICINE WORKSHOP "EMBO Workshop on “Cell division: molecular machineries and cancer targeted therapies” with co-sponsorship from UNIA"

• SCOPE

Targeting the cell division cycle is thought to be a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer. However, the mechanisms that govern cell cycle progression or mitotic maintenance or exit in mammalian cells are still poorly understood. This workshop aims to obtain a better insight into the machineries and circuits that regulate cell cycle control and to advance in the validation and/or identification of new potential targets for cancer treatment. This will be analyzed from different perspectives including basic cell biology, animal models, structural studies and clinical evaluation, thus making this workshop an attractive forum for researchers, pharma developers and clinicians.
