Targeting the kinome
This is an advance notice of the 2006 Basel Symposium on "Targeting the Kinome", December 4 - 6, 2006 at the Kongress Zentrum/Plaza Hotel in Basel, Switzerland.
Web site: www.targeting-the-kinome.org
The meeting is partially prompted by the fact that 2006 will see the 20th anniversary of the start of tyrosine kinase inhibitor research in Basel. This event ultimately led to the development of the first protein kinase therapeutic, Glivec. The symposium will focus on the impact of basic research on drug discovery and the impact that it is now having on treatment of cancer. We also wish to focus on contemporary issues in the protein kinase field, surveying the current landscape in terms of the development of targeted kinase inhibitors for cancer, and other areas. We hope to bring together basic researchers, chemists, pharmacologists, clinicians and the major contributors from the pharma industry.
Confirmed speakers so far: Kari Alitalo, David Baltimore, Mario Barbacid, David Barford, Philip Cohen, Sara Courtneidge, George Demetri, Doriano Fabbro, Jim Fagin, Pascal Furet, Carlos Garcia-Echeverria, Susan Gasser, Mike Hall, Carl-Hendrik Heldin, Tony Hunter, Nancy Hynes, Sandra Jacob, Heidi Lane, Alex Levitzki, David Livingston, Nick Lydon, Paul Manley, Alex Matter, Frank McCormick, Adrian Merlo, Peter Parker, Tony Pawson, Thomas Roberts, Yossi Schlessinger, Bill Sellers, Radek Skoda, Mike Stratton, George Thomas, Axel Ullrich, Victor Velculescu, Jürgen Wagner, Owen Witte and Mike Yaffe.
We look forward very much to your participation. Full details of the symposium and registration will be announced shortly.
