Cancer Genetics: History & Consequences course

Cancer Genetics: History & Consequences is organized by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and will be held from Mar 26 - 29, 2025 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, United States of America.

Description:
These meetings bring together multiple generations of scientists and historians to present and discuss major developments in the biological sciences.  The proceedings are filmed and placed on a dedicated website maintained by the CSHL Archives to serve as documentary material for historians, scientists, journalists, teachers, and students. 
Like its predecessors, the meeting we are planning will provide a unique opportunity to examine the development of the field of cancer genetics in depth, to share the personal stories that are often missing from reports published in scientific journals, and to discuss the consequences and future prospects for this field of science.

Topics: 

• Origins
• Oncogenes
• Risk Factors
• Social, Legal, and Ethical Implications
• Pathways
• Targeted Therapy
• Looking into the Future
