2nd International Workshop on Translational Cancer Research
October 21 - 22, 2021 - Palma, Balearic Islands
The “2nd International Workshop on Translational Cancer Research” took place in the Son Espases University Hospital, Palma, Spain, last October. The main goal of this meeting was to expose oncologists and investigators to state-of-the-art translational cancer research and treatments and strengthen networks of collaborations among oncologists and basic scientists working all around the world, providing opportunities to establish new collaborations among research laboratories and medical centers. The meeting was organized in two days that involve four scientific sessions:
1- Computational biology and artificial intelligence in cancer research,
2- Therapeutic and diagnostic advances in cancer,
3- Molecular and cell biology cancer research, and
4- Short communications from fellows and early-career cancer researchers.

Stem cells and Cancer Conference
Nov 2020
The meeting was organized by Dr. E Batlle and Dr. H. Clevers. The conference provided an interdisciplinary forum for researchers interested in the connections between stem cell biology and cancer to meet and discuss the latest advances in this field. Specific topics to be discussed include stem cell metabolism, the interaction of healthy and tumor stem cells with the immune environment and the roles of CSCs during metastasis and therapy resistance.
