Subject: [EMMA/INFRAFRONTIER directors] Targeting Cancer with Animal Models CONFERENCE - JOIN US!

Mark your calendar for our upcoming annual INFRAFRONTIER 2020 Conference, which will focus on Targeting
Cancer with Animal Models.
The 2-day event previously planned for Brussels will now take place only
online on 7. & 8. October! Registration Deadline: 2. October! After cardiovascular diseases, cancer is the leading cause of death and one of the major contributors to premature deaths
in the EU. In 2016, one quarter (26.0%, 1.3 million people) of the total number of deaths in Europe were due to cancer and it was predicted to kill 1.41 million in 2019. With
recent biomedical advances it has become obvious that cancer is not a single disease but a collection of several diseases. Mouse models are used in cancer research to explore the causality between cancer genes and carcinogenesis, and as models
to develop and test novel therapies. In addition, they have become ideal models for precise individualised cancer therapy thanks to the advancements in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, patient xenograft implantation, and microbiota studies.
The INFRAFRONTIER Conference 2020 ‘Targeting Cancer with Animal Models’ aims to showcase such innovative animal models
used in cancer research and also introduce the Cancer Mission Board to the cancer research community.
The main objectives of this conference will be to:
·
Present latest research on innovative cancer models
·
Showcase INFRAFRONTIER services for cancer research
·
Align the scientific strategy on cancer mouse models with the Horizon Europe Cancer Mission Participate in our Online Twitter Poster Session,
and share your projects with the international scientific community! MORE INFO on our website! About us: INFRAFRONTIER
is the European Research Infrastructure for the generation, phenotyping, archiving, and distribution of model mammalian genomes. The INFRAFRONTIER Research Infrastructure provides access to first-class tools and data for biomedical research. It thereby contributes
to improving the understanding of gene function in human health and disease using the mouse model. Please let us know if you have any questions.
