About the Workshop

Significant progress has been made in characterizing the genetics of cancer and cellular pathways that are critical for cancer initiation and progression. However, most studies focused on single genes or proteins and highlighting the need to analyze cancers as integrated systems of gene/protein/metabolite networks and the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Over the past 10 years, there has been an explosion in experimental data obtained using high-throughput technologies, such as genomic sequencing, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. Quantitative and single-cell data combined with mathematical modeling have been extensively applied to analyze cancer-related processes and cancer cell responses to drug treatments. The focus of this EMBO Workshop will be to gather some of the world’s best scientists working in the above-mentioned fields of cancer systems biology, bringing together scientists applying genome-scale or quantitative biology approaches. The program includes the following main subjects:

  • Application of systems approaches to cancer research
  • Quantitative and single cell cancer biology
  • Drug discovery and cancer therapeutics
  • New methodological developments

Selection criteria

We have already selected speakers who have all confirmed their participation in our workshop. These speakers were selected on the basis of their work at the leading edge of research relevant to the topic, for their qualities as speakers, their ability to communicate with and energize junior investigators and, most importantly, to ensure gender balance. Gender balance and a balanced geographic distribution will be considered in selecting the participants, the speakers for the short talks and the recipients of the travel fellowships.

The scientific program includes a combination of new speakers and established scientists, to promote continuity and community building. Fifteen slots have been reserved for short talks (15 minutes) for which the speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance to the themes of the workshop. We will ensure that the selected speakers include a balanced mix of students, postdocs, and early stage investigators. All participants will be encouraged to submit abstracts on their current research. Those not selected for short talks will get a chance to showcase their work in the flash talk session and poster sessions.

Abstract guidelines

Abstracts are now being accepted for lecture (invited speakers), short oral presentation (SOP) or poster presentation in each of the sessions.

You may upload pictures (monochromatic) if you like.

Poster specifications

Poster size is w 90cm x h 110 cm maximum.

Additional requirements

Please submit your motivation letter and CV when applying for this EMBO workshop.

Travel grants
