Symposia on Cancer Research
MD Anderson Cancer Center has held symposia on cancer research for more than 60 years. In the early years, this meeting covered all of cancer research, providing an annual overview of new scientific findings and new developments in patient care. In recent years, more focused topics were selected, reflecting the enormous growth in the spectrum of cancer research at MD Anderson and in the field in general. Over the past decade, these topics were closely tied to our institutional research themes.
The goals of the symposia remain unchanged: to bring the leaders in a given field from all over the world to MD Anderson to allow interaction, promote collaboration and provide education for the benefit of our trainees and faculty.
Upcoming Meeting
All meetings are held at MD Anderson with the main venue being the Robert C. Hickey Auditorium (R11.1400), Main Building, Floor 11, near Elevator B.
2013 Symposium
Genomic Medicine
October 4-5, 2013
Chairpersons
Lynda Chin, M.D.,
Andrew Futreal, Ph.D.
Funda Meric-Bernstam, M.D.
The goal of this symposium is to highlight the areas of genomic medicine: omics - getting the data, functional genomics, genomic implementation, computational analysis and translation into clinical trials.
