CRCM Symposium

Dear delegates, Dear participants, Dear colleagues,

Welcome to Marseille,

We are pleased and honored to invite you to the first edition of the CRCM (Centre de Recherche en Cancérologie de Marseille) Symposium, held every two years.

Since 2008, CRCM scientists – 450 people and 21 teams – have been developing basic and clinical research programs, with the constant aim of transferring fundamental data to the clinic – the founding principle of our institution: “from the laboratory to the bedside” – in order to make significant advances and improve the therapeutic management of cancer patients.

The symposium is organized around the scientific themes represented by two CRCM departments: Comet (Cellular Communication and Microenvironment) and Translate-IT (Translational Research and Innovative Therapies).

During these two and a half days, we have put together an exceptional program with diversified and innovative sessions focusing on the tumor microenvironment and cellular dialogue, based on metabolic and extravesicular communication, nanotechnologies, tumor signaling and pharmacological innovations.

The Palais du Pharo will be the ideal venue to welcome national and international guest speakers with exceptional expertise in cancer research. We’re convinced that the setting, with its breathtaking views over the Mediterranean and the Old Port, will be an added incentive to take part in this exceptional opportunity to forge new collaborations and foster exchanges with researchers and speakers.

Mark the date in your diaries; we look forward to welcoming many of you to this first session, and strongly encourage young researchers to register.
