You’re invited to join us for the Cancer Genomics Symposium on March 12, Wednesday, 2:30 – 5:00 pm in Room 350, New Research Building, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Harvard Medical School.

Cancer happens through accumulated genetic and epigenetic mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Current advances in high-throughput genomic technologies make it possible to examine the mutations in a systematic and unbiased manner. Here we invite four speakers, who have made important discoveries in cancer genomics filed. They have combined experimental and computational approaches to identify functional mutations contributing to different steps of oncogenesis.

Please RSVP through the following link, so that we can prepare drinks and light refreshment.
