EACR Conference: Cancer Cell Plasticity – Cracking the Code of Adaptation and Survival

This conference will explore the fundamental mechanisms controlling cancer cell plasticity at multiple biological levels, including the epigenome, transcriptome, metabolome, and cellular microenvironment. Our panel of expert speakers will discuss innovative approaches to target cell plasticity using novel pharmacological interventions aimed at preventing or reversing the adaptive mechanisms cancer cells use to circumvent conventional therapies.

Key Insights

Participants will gain insights into:

• Mechanistic aspects of epigenetic regulation
• Cellular microenvironment interactions
• Metabolic flexibility and reprogramming
• Phenotypic transitions

We will also cover cutting-edge OMICS-based approaches offering a global perspective on cancer cell plasticity and how these contribute to cancer progression and therapy resistance.

Target Audience

The conference is designed for scientists in both academia and industry with a keen interest in cancer cell plasticity and tumour heterogeneity. It will be particularly beneficial for those studying non-genetic cancer cell adaptations.

• Abstract Submission Deadline: 06 October 2025
