BMP Signalling in Cancer
15—17 March 2016
St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge, UK
Join the Biochemical Society in exploring the mechanisms of BMP signal transduction and regulation of signalling, and discussing how genetic and epigenetic alterations result in aberrant signalling and how this leads to cancer. The BMP signalling pathway is a key therapeutic target and we will consider how to manipulate the pathway with small molecules or biologics. The BMP Signalling in Cancer conference will bring together researchers from academe and industry, and will be a great opportunity for those working on BMP signalling, cancer, stem cells, structural biology and drug discovery to share data and interact in a vibrant, but informal environment.
Topics
- Mechanisms of BMP signalling
- Deregulation of BMP signalling in cancer and therapeutic approaches
- Genetic and epigenetic alterations in BMP pathway components
- BMP signalling in disease
There are selected oral communication slots in the programme and flash poster presentation opportunities available from poster abstracts.
