Stanford CCSB 2nd Annual Symposium
Systems Biology of Cancer
May 7, 2012
The Stanford CCSB will hold an Annual Symposium at the Li Ka Shing Conference Center. This conference is designed for participants to explore systems biology approaches that aim to elucidate the role of differentiation, self-renewal, stem cells in cancer initiation, progression and treatment.
