About
This EMBO | EMBL Symposium brings cancer researchers together to examine how tumours spread and resist treatment. Topics include circulating and metastasis-initiating cells, invasion, epigenetic regulation, dormancy, cellular plasticity, immune escape and the tumour microenvironment. The programme connects biological mechanisms with imaging, single-cell and spatial profiling, computational analysis and disease models.
The event runs from 10 to 13 November 2026 at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, with virtual participation available. Abstract submissions are closed. On-site registration closes on 29 September; virtual registration remains available until 3 November. Registration fees and the two booking routes are listed on the organizer page.
