 MicroRNAs and Cancer Symposium

Tuesday 16th February 2010 UCL Cancer Institute
Registration deadline: 10th December 2009

Following the discovery of the first endogenous small non-coding silencing RNA in 1993, the study of microRNAs has revolutionised our understanding of gene expression regulation during development, immunity, and pathogenesis. The UCL Cancer Institute is hosting an international symposium highlighting the function and regulation of microRNAs during oncogenesis. Invited talks are from scientists who have contributed seminal discoveries to the field of “microRNAs and Cancer”, as well as novel exciting research of high biological and clinical relevance.

We look forward to seeing you in February
