Supported by: | Dysregulation of signalling pathways downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is a frequent event in carcinogenesis. This meeting, the first in a series sponsored by the “Norsk Hydro’s Fund” for cancer research, will discuss key concepts of RTK signalling pathways, and how such signalling is modulated by intracellular trafficking. Examples of how proper receptor trafficking has a tumour suppressor function will be provided, and the mechanisms of intracellular trafficking of RTKs and other receptors will be explored. Finally, novel anti-cancer drugs that target RTKs and their pathways will be highlighted.
Invited lectures will be given by scientists who are world leaders within RTK signalling and membrane trafficking, and a few short talks will be chosen from submitted abstracts. There will also be poster sessions covering the main topics of the meeting. |
