International course

Development & Cancer

15th edition

The course is dedicated to the most current knowledge linking developmental biology with the cellular and molecular study of cancers. Neural crest and melanomas, from their initiation to their migration (metastasis) as well as pediatric cancer from embryonic origins such as medulloblastomas and neuroblastomas are taken as examples. 

The course benefits from a multidisciplinary approach at multiple scales (embryology on various models, biophysics, cell biology, transcriptomics, imaging ...). It also breaches therapeutic approaches.

The course includes round tables on careers in academia or industry, on scientific article publication as well as on ethics in animal experimentation. Posters sessions for doctoral students are also organized and prizes for the best posters will be awarded by the attendees.

Presentation

Objectives

To discuss the most relevant questions in the field of Development and Cancer. To highlight the multiple complementary approaches available to study the complex processes involved in development and cancer.  To discuss melanocyte and melanoma biology, as well as pediatric cancers such as medulloblastoma and neuroblastoma. For master and doctoral students as well as for researchers and clinicians.
