To celebrate the 10th year of Bioengineering, we are hosting a one-day meeting on “Systems Approaches to Cell Plasticity” (SACP) on Tuesday, Dec 16, in DBG Seminar Hall, Biological Sciences Building.

This symposium focuses on showcasing ongoing research in various experimental and/or computational approaches to elucidate the mechanisms and implications of cancer cell plasticity and tumor-immune interplay in aggravating tumor progression and driving metastasis, therapy resistance and consequent tumor relapse. The goal of the meeting is to exchange and brainstorm ideas and seed new potential collaborations with complementary approaches. To encourage more discussion, all speakers will give 20-min presentations, followed by Q&A.

All are welcome to attend; registration is free but mandatory. All students and post-doctoral fellows are encouraged to present their posters as well. Registration deadline: Dec 10.

Here’s the speaker list:

  • Herbert Levine (Northeastern University, USA)
  • Jeffrey West (Moffitt Cancer Center, USA)
  • Thomas Hofer (DKFZ Heidelberg, Germany)
  • Anushka Dongre (Cornell University, USA)
