Welcome to ICSB 2024!

December 14 － December 15, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, China

The goal of this meeting series is to bring together researchers and clinicians with a wide range of expertise but sharing a common interest: gaining improved understanding about cancer, to present their insights about cancer. Specifically, we are interested in gaining new and systems-level understanding about cancer formation, progression, and diagnosis through exchange of ideas and experiences by the invited speakers and the attendees of the workshop. The focus of this year’s meeting will be on the following topics: Inflammatory-cancer transformation, tumor metabolic reprogramming and its causes, tumor cell cycle and polarity, tumor drug resistance, tumor immunity, tumor nervous system, tumor metastasis driving force and mechanism, multi-organ interaction and tumor pathogenesis, the relationship between tumor characteristics and organ function. We encourage non-traditional and potentially controversial ideas and theories about cancer formation and development.

For this workshop, we plan to have 20 invited speakers, 10 from China and 10 from overseas, consisting of cancer biologists, cancer clinicians, cancer immunologists, cancer omic data analysts and computational modelers. We aim for integration of different perspectives about cancer, which could lead to new ways of thinking about identification of the key drivers of cancer as well as about identification of effective markers for cancer diagnosis. In addition to the invited talks, the workshop welcomes posters from the workshop attendees to share their insights and experiences about cancer research.
