Our goal is to foster interactions between labs working on mammary gland development and cancer worldwide.
In order to facilitate joint funding applications for European specific grants, we are identifying European research groups working
in this field and listing their coordinates and areas of interest/expertise in this section.
You also will find a list of labs working in this field, job offers, upcoming events
and some mammary gland biology and breast cancer links.
We hope you'll find this initiative useful for your research and encourage you to contribute to its development.
Committee: Momo Bentires-Alj, Giusy Bonizzi, Rob Clarke, Gabriela Dontu, Marina Glukhova, Eva Gonzalez Suarez, Nancy Hynes, Jos Jonkers, Matt Smalley, Torsten Stein, John Stingl, Maria dM Vivanco.
Contact: Momo Bentires-Alj.

28th IABCR/Breakthrough Breast Cancer Conference: Stromal-epithelial interactions in breast cancer development and progression
|
|
| Description |
The Conference will encompass breast cancer development and progression with an emphasis on the influence of the stromal environment. We aim to bring together cutting edge experts in these areas with young investigators to discuss the important role of stroma and its role in cellular adhesion, stem cell activity, migration and metastasis.
There will be sessions focused on breast cancer development, precursor lesions, invasive cancer and metastatic disease. The goal of the meeting will be to stimulate discussion that connects an understanding of stromal epithelial interactions with the alterations that occur during tumourigenic progression.
We will allot plenty of time for discussion to allow researchers to communicate their most recent data and diverse perspectives. Participation from post-doctoral scientists and graduate students will be encouraged through the selection of short talks from submitted abstracts and the ample time set aside for poster sessions.
The overall objective is to highlight the potential that targeting the stromal environment will have for improving breast cancer treatment. |
