Abstract
An outstanding array of prominent investigators gathered in Barcelona on May 28th and 29th, 2009 for the first Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Symposium to discuss progress in different areas of cancer research. Organized by Dr. Manel Esteller, this Symposium also publicized the launching of the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Program (PEBC), of which Esteller is the director. The symposium covered a variety of topics, including the use of animal models to study cancer, the study of epigenetic pathways involved in tumorigenesis, and the future of epigenetic therapeutics. Some of the highlights of this meeting are summarized in this report.
