The Second AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Basic Cancer Research, Sept. 14 – 18, 2011, in San Francisco, CA, is the second of its kind focused on the latest advances in basic cancer research. The goals of this broad-based meeting are to present the best in basic cancer research, give early-career investigators a unique opportunity to interact with luminaries in the field, and to create a synergy between many subfields of basic cancer research to encourage and strengthen collaborative efforts.
The AACR will hold a press conference, interview several selected speakers and will post audio and video recordings on this page from September 15 – 17.
