Molecular Targets for Cancer Prevention Conference Natcher Auditorium, NIH
February 4-5, 2009
|
Organizing Committee: Bill Farrar and Nancy Colburn LCP, CCR; Co-Chairs, Pat Steeg, Terry Van Dyke, Sheila Prindiville,
John Milner, and Leslie Ford
The purpose of this two-day small conference is to bring together leaders in cancer prevention research from the CCR/NCI and
the extramural community to respond to new opportunities for discovery that can advance the field in three major areas of
investigation as outlined below. All sessions include both preclinical and clinical studies as well as molecular targeted
approaches. Unique to this conference are Round Tables that focus on interactive mouse-human studies that are needed to move
toward individualized prevention.
