Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, Washington, Distr. Columbia United StatesThe Seventh International Congress on Targeted Therapies in Cancer has been designed to provide participants with cutting-edge information on the novel targeted anticancer therapies that are being developed, highlighting the mechanisms of action of and the most current clinical data on those agents. The congress will detail the multiple signaling pathways that are disrupted in cancer as well as novel targeted approaches that specifically affect aberrant signaling in tumor cells, such as PI3K, Akt, and Src inhibitors; agents directed against receptor tyrosine kinases such as insulin-like growth factor receptor and c-Met receptor; agents targeting angiopoietin and the tumor stroma; heat shock protein inhibitors; agents disrupting the cell cycle, cell division, and DNA repair processes; agents targeting molecules involved in developmental pathways; and agents that harness the body’s own immune system to combat neoplastic disease. The congress will also cover novel therapeutic and drug discovery platforms and will explore efforts to finetune monoclonal antibody effectiveness through combinatorial approaches. Furthermore, the impact on future therapeutic strategies of customizing cancer treatment based on the molecular properties of the tumor will be debated.
As the burgeoning field of targeted therapies continues to evolve, there is a clear need for physicians to be continuously updated on the most recent efficacy and safety data on these new classes of agents. This congress will use didactic learning and panel discussions to provide an educational program that allows physicians to keep abreast of these rapid developments. - full details
- FanExpo 2008
-
Aug 22, 2008 - Aug 24, 2008,
Metro Toronto Covention Center Toronto CanadaThe history of Fan Expo Canada begins in 1995 with the launch of the Canadian National Comic Book Expo which was not held in the spacious South Building at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, but at the impressive Roy Thompson Hall (where scenes of X-Men would later be filmed) that would accommodate the approximate 1,500 attendees. Back then, there were only five guests who included Bernie Wrightson and Bill Sienkiewicz.
With the continued success of the Expo, the venues changed to accommodate the growing number of fans, guests, celebrities, and exhibitors. These included the Holiday Inn on King in 1996 and eventually to the home of Fan Expo Canada; the Metro Toronto Convention Center in 1997. The initial years at the MTCC were held in the bright and appealing North Building, but the massive popularity of the Expo demanded more space and since 2006, is now held in the depths and vastness of the South Building. - full details
