Single-Cell Approaches to Decode Cancer Evolution and Plasticity

The focus of this meeting will be on recent biological discoveries as well as novel experimental and computational approaches using single-cell and spatial technologies in cancer biology. Advances in single-cell omics and imaging technologies are providing an unprecedented understanding of the molecular components, lineages, and spatial relationships of single cells that drive cancer initiation and progression. Our program will embrace basic and translational research that spans all facets of cancer biology, ranging from cellular plasticity and clonal dynamics to tumor heterogeneity, tumor-stroma interactions, the immune microenvironment, therapy resistance, and the development of computational methods and technologies to investigate and model these complexities.

The seminar's structure will also feature discussion leaders selected from registered participants, ensuring active scientific discussions in which all attendees can meaningfully contribute and develop their professional communication skills.
