Beatson International Cancer Conference 2023

Interorgan Communication in Cancer

Sunday July 16th to Wednesday 19th July 2023

The Beatson International Cancer Conference series is designed to be a relaxed and friendly meeting where delegates and invited speakers have a chance to interact on a scientific basis.

Aims: While significant advances in cancer biology have been made from research on individual and collective properties of cancer cells, studying tumours within a multiorgan setting is essential to identify tumour intrinsic and systemic principles involved in cancer initiation, progression and spread. The use of in vivo model organisms combined with genetic, metabolic, physiology, immune and behavioural studies is necessary to recapitulate the full complexity of cancer as well as to understand whole body responses to tumours.

We have developed a programme of world-leading researchers using diverse genetically tractable whole animal model systems including mice, flies and fish to address tumour/body interactions involving the research areas described above and are encouraging early career researchers to submit their abstracts for consideration as soon as possible.
