EACR Conference: Cancer Cell Plasticity - Cracking the Code of Adaptation and Survival
Chris Iliffe (Conference Officer): christopher.iliffe@eacr.org
This conference will explore the fundamental mechanisms controlling cancer cell plasticity at multiple biological levels including the epigenome, transcriptome, metabolome, and cellular microenvironment. Our panel of expert speakers will also discuss innovative approaches to target cell plasticity using novel pharmacological interventions that aim to prevent or reverse the adaptive mechanisms cancer cells use to circumvent conventional therapies.
Participants will gain insights into the mechanistic aspects of epigenetic regulation, cellular microenvironment interactions, metabolic flexibility and reprogramming, and phenotypic transitions. We’ll also cover cutting-edge OMICS-based approaches offering a global perspective on cancer cell plasticity, and how these contribute to cancer progression and therapy resistance.
The target audience for this conference is scientists in both academia and industry with a keen interest in cancer cell plasticity and tumour heterogeneity. It will be particularly beneficial for those studying non-genetic cancer cell adaptations. Submit your abstract before 06 October 2025 for a chance to present your own work in this field, and register before 03 November 2025 to secure your place.
