Stem Cells and Cancer: Seek, Understand and Destroy
As part of the 27th Entretiens Jacques Cartier, the McGill Goodman Cancer Research Centre, in collaboration with the FRQS, the Strauss Centre for Gene and Cell Therapy and Ottawa University will host a symposium joining together world experts in the fields of embryonic, adult and cancer stem cells. The synergy created by the assembly of leaders at the crossroad of these research themes will encourage novel approaches for the understanding and treatment of cancer. This symposium will be held mostly in English.
