The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has organized a one-day symposium about “Cancer, transcription and development” on November 15, which will take place at the Sala de Actos of the CMIMA building. Kelly McNagny, associate professor of Department of Medical Genetics of the University of British Columbia, Canada, and Florencio Varas, researcher of the Thomas Graf Laboratory at the CRG, are organizing this symposium, which coincides with Graf’s birthday.

The speakers will be European and North American researchers like Daniel Tenen (keynote) from the Harvard Institutes of Medicine in Boston, Hartmut Beug, from the Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna, Achim Leutz, from the Max-Delbrueck-Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, and others. A total of ten international experts from eight countries have already confirmed their participation as speakers.

The symposium will be structured in four sessions: the first is dedicated to cancer, the second and third session focusses on transcription processes, and the fourth session covers developmental biology (see programme).

The symposium starts with a welcome reception at 9:30 at the CMIMA building and finishes at 18:30. For registration no fee is required.
