The 6^th International Heinrich F.C. Behr Symposium on Stem Cells and Cancer will be held from October 3 – 5, 2010 at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany.

We are expecting a highly interactive meeting sparked by a panel of internationally renowned speakers who will discuss their latest data with an audience of about 300 students and scientists. A poster session as well as a “meet the speaker” dinner party will further foster scientific exchange.

The organizers are proud to be able to present a program that covers a wide range of important aspects of stem cell biology and its link to cancer. Focus areas of the 2010 Symposium include:

• Biology of stem cells
• Epithelial stem cells and cancer
• Hematopoietic and vascular stem cells
• Stem cells in the nervous system
• Epigenetics and reprogramming
