Radiation and Multidrug Resistance Mediated via the Tumor Microenvironment

Our vision is to bring together top researchers from academic institutions to discuss the critical role of tumour-stromal interactions, cell adhesion, invasion and integrin-growth factor receptor signaling for pre-existent and acquired radiation and multidrug resistance. Due to a fast growing number of researchers interested in this field, we believe that this workshop will be an important opportunity for interactions among scientists and clinicians to foster innovative anticancer strategies and translational research.
This is the first Workshop covering this special topic jointly organized by Nils Cordes of OncoRay, Medical Faculty, University of Technology Dresden, Germany, and Mary Helen Barcellos-Hoff of Department of Cancer Biology, Life Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA.

Invited speakers:
Michael Baumann (GER), Anne E. Cress (USA), Eric Danen (NL), Silvia Formenti (USA), Peter Friedl (GER), Leoni A. Kunz-Schughart (GER), W. Gillies McKenna (UK), Ruth J. Muschel (UK), Catherine C. Park (USA), Jacques Pouysségur (F),
H. Peter Rodemann (GER), Tariq Sethi (UK), Eric G. Wright (UK)

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
