NEW MEMBERS CORNERPlease join us in welcoming the following new members of the Case CCC: Joseph Gibbons, MD Peter Harte, PhD Z. Meral Ozsoyoglu, PhD Horst von Recum, PhD David Wald, MD, PhD FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– Canary Foundation/ACS Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Early Detection of Cancer for 2009The Canary Foundation has partnered with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to create a postdoctoral fellowship program focused on studies towards development of strategies for early detection of cancer. Research should be directed at new approaches to improve clinical methods for the detection of primary tumors and/or metastases. The projects that will be funded are expected to have a direct impact on the early detection of cancer or to provide a clear conceptual or experimental foundation for the future development of methods for early detection. Application Deadline: October 15 For details, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS & CALL FOR ABSTRACTS– ECOG Young Investigator's SymposiumNovember 16 The purpose of this annual symposium is to engage promising young clinical investigators in cooperative group clinical research. Individuals who meet the criteria are invited to submit an abstract for presentation at the fall ECOG meeting, which will take place November 14-16 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The symposium will tentatively take place between 8:30-11:00 am on November 16. Abstracts should be emailed or faxed no later than October 10. For details, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– AACR/American Cancer Society Award for Research Excellence in Cancer Epidemiology & PreventionThe AACR is currently accepting nominations for the AACR-American Cancer Society Award for Research Excellence in Cancer Epidemiology & Prevention. The AACR and the American Cancer Society established this award in 1992 to honor outstanding research accomplishments in the fields of cancer epidemiology, biomarkers, and prevention. Nomination Deadline: October 15 For details, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– AACR Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cancer ResearchThe AACR is accepting nominations for the Outstanding Achievement in Cancer Research Award. This award was established in 1979 thanks to the contributions of an anonymous donor. The purpose of the award is to recognize a young investigator in cancer research. award recipients must not be over 40 years old at time of receipt. Nomination Deadline: October 15 For more information, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS– AACR Centennial SymposiumOctober 27-28 The AACR Centennial Symposium: The Future of Cancer Research: Science and Patient Impact will focus on the latest and future advances in cancer research, technologies, and techniques. This forward-looking centennial symposium will also be honoring the long history that the AACR has had with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Advance Registration Deadline: September 15 For details, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS– NanoMedicine Summit 2008September 25-26 The 2008 Cleveland NanoMedicine Summit, is the anchor event for Nano Week in Cleveland (in its fifth year) and will be co-hosted by NorTech's Nano-Network, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Case Western Reserve University. This conference has been incredibly successful in the past (as evidenced by national media attention and feedback from attendees) by bringing together scientists, clinicians, business professionals, investors and others to learn, discuss and interact under the umbrella of nanomedicine. The 2008 Summit will focus on the use of nanoparticles for diagnostics and therapeutics. Session highlights include: Many Cancer Center members are involved in this Summit. Drs. James Basilion, Vinod Labhasetwar, and Maciej Zborowski are on the Organizing Committee, and the following members are scheduled to speak: Drs. Stanton Gerson, Clemens Burda, Agata Exner, Vinod Labhasetwar, Horst von Recum, Pam Davis, Mark Cooper, and Thomas Budd. For more information, please click here. |

MARK YOUR CALENDARS– 61st Annual Symposium on Cancer Research: Systems Biology of CancerOctober 30-November 1 The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is pleased to host the 61st Annual Symposium on Cancer Research: Systems Biology of Cancer. This symposium will bring together internationally-recognized scientists from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, and patient advocates to describe and discuss state-of-the art information about how systems biology is transforming cancer research. This symposium is directed towards scientists, scientists-in-training, physicians, physicians-in-training, students, and fellows interested in integrating large molecular data sets to generate information relevant to understanding the mechanism of cancer growth and ultimately diagnosing and treating it. For details, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS– AFAR Conference on Cancer and AgingOctober 6-7 The American Federation on Aging Research (AFAR) is pleased to present Aging and Cancer: Two Sides of the Same Coin?, October 6-7 in New York. This two-day conference will explore fundamental aspects of aging and cancer processes and their interactions. Speakers will examine: genetic and epigenetic changes, environmental influences, and host factors such as oxidative stress and cell death. The evolutionary, cellular and molecular relationships among aging, tumor suppressor mechanisms and the development of cancer as well as the interactions of normal aging cells, stem cells and differences in the manifestation of cancer in young and old will also be discussed. Speakers will report on topics such as telomere biology; nuclear processes such as DNA damage, repair, replication, recombination and transcription; and relevant aspects of mitochondrial structure and function. The goal will be to elucidate genetic and epigenetic alterations that lead to aging and cancer phenotypes. For more information, please click here. |
