This next Conference plays a very important role in bringing researchers together from the UK and internationally. Over the four days, you will have the opportunity to take part in sessions and meet with colleagues from across the world and across the spectrum of cancer research: basic science, clinical studies, translational science, palliative care and end of life care. Each year we attract established experts, along with students and other early career researchers from a range of disciplines, as well as patients and carers with an interest and involvement in research. This diversity is one of our strengths. With the huge range of work on display, everyone has the opportunity to learn something new. A group of 50 A level students from the Liverpool area will also be with us on Tuesday to take part in a schools programme and we hope that some of them will be inspired to follow a career in cancer research. The NCRI Partnership is comprised of 21 government and charity funders of research together with the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI). We aim to coordinate research and funding strategies, for the ultimate benefit of patients and public. Communication is the key to this, whether it be among scientists and clinicians, among funders, with policy-makers, or the general public. NCRI has many initiatives promoting communication, coordination and collaboration of which this annual Conference is perhaps the most visible. Find out more about NCRI and our other initiatives by visiting our stand in the exhibition hall. The Conference is a joint effort from many people. I would like to thank the sponsors and exhibitors, including the NCRI partners, who help to make the event happen. I would also like to extend my thanks to the Scientific Committee for developing an inspiring programme, and of course the speakers themselves who have travelled from all over the world to come and speak in Liverpool. Finally I am grateful to the Conference team within the NCRI Secretariat for their excellent organisation. Thank you to everyone for making our Conference such a great success. Enjoy your Conference experience. Harpal S Kumar Chair of the National Cancer Research Institute 2 conference.ncri.org.uk Welcome from the Chairs Message from the Chair of the Scientific Committee Professor Gerard Evan Chair of the 2013 Scientific Committee Head of Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK On behalf of the Scientific Committee, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the vibrant city of Liverpool and the ninth NCRI Cancer Conference. If you want to understand cancer, and to help people with cancer, then you are in the right place. Colleagues on the Scientific Committee deserve my gratitude for building a programme combining the best international research with opportunities for interaction and networking. There are several types of talks for you to choose from, such as plenary lectures, parallel sessions, symposia, and proffered paper sessions. Talks and posters cover the whole spectrum of cancer research, from basic research and translational science, through to clinical application in diagnosis and treatment, as well as sessions on survivorship, end of life care and health service research. We aim to challenge the way you think about your own research and its place within a broader context, contributing to an overall understanding of cancer and how best to help cancer patients. Amongst the busy programme there will be sessions aimed at surgeons, oncologists and scientists on Monday in a ‘Working together in surgery’ track. Plus, after the success of last year’s collaboration with the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), some sessions on Tuesday have again been programmed in association with the RCR. Tuesday also sees the ever-popular Clinical Trials Showcase which provides updates on practice-changing trials, these events making this the essential day for clinicians to attend. Please also make time to visit exhibitors in Hall 2. There are more than 60 stands from different companies and organisations. Join us there in the breaks to hear about their latest products and services, and acknowledge their contribution to the Conference. Finally, if you use technology to help with your networking, sign up to the NCRI group on LinkedIn. There will also be a prize for the best tweet of the Conference for all you tweeters. Use #NCRI2013 and get tweeting. Wishing you an enjoyable and rewarding stay in Liverpool.
