Cancer experts gather in St Andrews this week

St Andrews welcomes leading cancer researchers.


Cancer experts will be gathering in St Andrews between the 18th and 21st of February for a unique conference.  The group, which will include some of the best cancer researchers and clinical oncologists from Italy, the USA and UK, will discuss the links between the Hippo pathway and cancer. The Hippo signalling pathway is thought to be involved in vital cellular processes including, but not limited to, the big C.

Welcomed by Professor Louis Richardson, the University Principal, and Professor Hugh MacDougall, the Dean of Medicine, the participants have all made important contributions to understanding how this pathway works and how it can affect cancer.

The hope is that the event at St Andrews will help with the development that is already occurring at a fast pace.
