ESF-EMBO Symposium
Molecular Biology and Innovative Therapies in Sarcomas of Childhood and Adolescence
29 September - 4 October 2012
Polonia Castle in Pultusk, Poland
Chaired by: Professor Beat Schäfer, University Children's Hospital, CH
Co-Chaired by: Professor Ewa Koscielniak, Olgahospital, DE
Scientific organising committee: Prof. Simone Fulda, Institute for Experimental Tumour Research in Pediatrics, DE; Prof. Heinrich Kovar, Children’s Cancer Research Institute, AT
Programme |
The conference will bring together biologists and clinicians to implement the interdisciplinary approach that is needed to advance research and therapy of rare childhood sarcomas. Newest results in molecular and biological research such as molecular characterization and identification of new targets for therapy, identification of novel risk factors for stratification, and new animal models will be combined with novel insights from clinical studies. This interdisciplinary approach will be used to discuss strategies on how novel agents can be incorporated into current treatment strategies directly in the course of the conference. The unique format of bringing together high-level researchers working on different sarcomas such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma and other very rare soft tissue sarcomas should further stimulate this goal.
