5th SUNRISE

The SUNRiSE network promotes knowledge and interactions between researchers and clinicians in order to develop research projects on cancer stem cell biology.

This edition will be hosted in Ajaccio between May 29^th and May 31^s   2024. The concept of cancer stem cells (CSCs), in which tumor growth is fueled by a small number of cancer cells, the CSCs, has evolved over time, medical issues and technological advances.

In this edition, we have sought to capture this evolution to make it accessible to as many scientists and physicians interested in tumor heterogeneity. Our interdisciplinary forum will deal with the most recent insights in the CSC field such as metabolic plasticity, CSC maintenance, understanding and targeting tumor heterogeneity, or deciphering the interplay between CSC and tumor microenvironment.

Leading speakers from prestigious institutions, chosen from among the top international researchers will present and discuss breakthroughs on CSC biology to promote basic and applied research in the field.

This meeting will have a limited number of participants to favorize intensive two-day discussion on novel topics.
