TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: The Landscape of Post-Translational Modifications in Tumor Biology Workshop (NCI)

PURPOSE:

The virtual workshop’s main objective is to bring experts in key and diverse areas of PTMs (ranging from ubiquitination, phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation to glycosylation) together to discuss the current status of science, significant advances, and gaps/challenges that may stand in the way of new directions and opportunities when attempting to unravel the complexities of tumor biology. The workshop is planned for 9/23/2022.

Experts in the field are invited to present their research and to address, through panel discussions, how to integrate these disparate better – yet interconnected areas of PTM research as integral building blocks underlying tumor biology from bench to bedside.
