IRB Barcelona -located at the Barcelona Science Park\u2013 and the BBVA Foundation bring together a select group of international researchers who use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to study cancer. The Barcelona BioMed Conference “Modelling cancer in Drosophila”, organized by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the BBVA Foundation, is coordinated by Cayetano Gonz\u00e1lez, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona, and Helena Richardson, from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Australia. The conference will take place on September 14-16 at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC). Among the researchers taking part in the conference are Ross Cagan (Mount Sinai School of Medicine, USA), whose work aims to develop a drug that directly affects tumor progression; Gin\u00e9s Morata (Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, Spain) who studies cell suicide and tumor transformation; and Mar\u00eda Dom\u00ednguez (Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante, Spain) whose work focuses on the genes that govern the development of organs and tissues and how cancer can occur when these processes are disturbed. A total of 26 experts will speak at the conference, 12 of whom work in leading laboratories in the US, 9 in Europe, 3 in Asia and 2 in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nUsing flies to find treatments against cancer - Parc Cient\u00edfic de Barcelona<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/en\/using-flies-to-find-treatments-against-cancer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Using flies to find treatments against cancer - Parc Cient\u00edfic de Barcelona\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IRB Barcelona -located at the Barcelona Science Park\u2013 and the BBVA Foundation bring together a select group of international researchers who use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to study cancer.
