Editorial & Program
Dear Congress members, Dear participants, Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to Marseille,
We have the pleasure and the honor to invite you to participate at the first edition of the CRCM Symposium (Centre de Recherche en Cancérologie de Marseille) that emerges with a biannual intention.
Since 2008, CRCM scientists including 450 people and 21 teams, has been developping programs of basic and clinical research, with the unchanging desire to transfer fundamental data to the clinic, the « benchside to bed » principle that constitutes the foundation of our institution to make significant breakthroughs and improve the therapeutic management of cancer patients.
The symposium is organized around the scientific topics represented by two departments of CRCM: Comet (Cell Communication and Microenvironment) and Translate-IT (Translational research and Innovative therapies).
During these two days and a half, we gathered an exceptional program with diverse and state of the art sessions with special focus on tumour microenvironment and cellular crosstalk, based on metabolic and extra-vesicular communication, nanotechnologies, tumor cell signaling and pharmacologic innovations.
The Palais du Pharo will constitute a privileged venue to host the invited national and international keynote and lecture speakers with outstanding expertise in the cancerology domain. We are convinced that the surroundings and striking views of the Mediterranean and the Old Port, will be an additional incentive to participate in this extraordinary opportunity to build up new collaborations and favour exchanges with researchers and speakers.
Note the date in your agendas, we are looking forward top host many of you for this first session and specially encourage young scientists to register.
