Workshop: Cancer Model Systems I (Invertebrates) REQUIRED

This workshop highlights the power of smaller eukaryotes (e.g., yeast and flies) to uncover basic principles of cell biology, and thus, how discoveries made in these organisms have led the way in our understanding of disease pathways. We also cover how model organisms have been a powerful tool for drug discovery. ITCMS fellows are encouraged to think about ways to implement model systems like these in their own research. Workshop leaders: Robert Duronio, Brian Strahl.
