Cancer Conference Targets Metastatic Disease

Don Whitley Scientific sponsored the 2015 Beatson International Cancer Conference, which was held yesterday at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow. The meeting, entitled Control of Cell Polarity and Movement in Cancer, highlighted recent exciting research into the molecular and cellular events that contribute to loss of epithelial polarity during carcinogenesis, and how cancer cells acquire different types of polarity that enable them to migrate and invade. There was also a focus on the avenues for development of agents to target cells with aberrant polarity and a potential route to treatment of metastatic disease.

Attending from Don Whitley Scientific were Danny Secker (pictured) and Steve Robertson, who demonstrated a Whitley H35 Hypoxystation to delegates.
