After the success of the first ‘Goodbye Flat Biology’ meeting in 2014, the EACR is delighted to announce the second conference in the series: ‘Goodbye Flat Biology: Models, Mechanisms and Microenvironment’.

This conference will focus on the applications of state-of-the-art 3D culture and tissue engineering technologies to address specific scientific questions ranging from basic tumour biology to more preclinical and translational research.

The meeting should be of interest to all those who use cancer cell lines, patient-derived tissue samples or primary cultures in vitro for the study of tumour biology, bioengineering and biochemistry, drug target validation, compound and antibody screening, toxicology, and patient-tumour profiling.

The active participation of young investigators and students will be particularly encouraged through a range of interactive opportunities, including a Speed Networking event, a ‘Meet the Expert’.
