The meeting will provide a unique interdisciplinary exchange on current approaches and future collaborations on metastasis and its therapeutic challenges.

Metastasis research is a nexus for several of the most exciting areas and technical developments of current cancer biology and translational molecular medicine. High-resolution intravital imaging, single-cell sequencing and integrated genomics approaches, innovative tissue modelling, and co-culture systems for disease screening and patient stratification all have enormous implications for our basic understanding of the mechanisms of this deadly disease and hold great promises for progress in its successful treatment. This cutting-edge meeting is aimed at a broad spectrum of life scientists and clinicians working in cancer, immunology, cell and molecular biology.

The CCE Summer School in Translational Cancer Research is intended to provide an in-depth training for early career scientists and clinicians to gain a cross-disciplinary knowledge of areas of the entire cancer research continuum, with a special focus on personalised cancer medicine. During this one-week course, we will offer workshops and talks by renowned speakers and facilitate the interaction between participants as well as speakers, coming from both preclinical laboratories and clinical centers worldwide. Participants have the opportunity to present their research projects and data in oral or poster presentations.

Organizers: Cancer Core Europe

This is the 12th Annual Meeting of the International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS), jointly held with the Korean Association of Immunologists (KAI) International Meeting 2024.

The scientific program includes 2 Keynote Lectures and 19 symposium Sessions as well as several social events. Dr. Drew Weissman, the winner of 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, is one of the Keynote Lecturers, and more than 50 world-renowned scientists working in the field of cytokine biology will participate in the event as invited speakers. There will also be a large number of abstracts selected for oral presentation and plenty of time for poster presentations, to help young and upcoming scientists share their research, and network with other attendees.

There has been tremendous progress in the past few years regarding our understanding of DNA replication in eukaryotes, both yeast and mammals. Many important questions in the field are poised to be answered within the next decade. These include understanding DNA replication at the biochemical and three-dimensional protein structure levels. In addition, studies using high throughput technologies at the cellular and organismal levels are poised to answer how accurate replication of the genome is ensured by controlling origin firing in space and time.

The EMBL Conference ‘The next generation in infection biology’ is a platform for late-stage postdoctoral scientists in the field of infection biology to present their work and connect with the leading European institutions in infection biology. The speakers will be chosen for their track record of research accomplishments and their high-reaching future plans. The audience will have the unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge science presented by the rising leaders in this field. The institutional partners will provide discussion and networking opportunities to connect and shape the future league of infection biologists in Europe.
