SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION

The Usha Mahajani Symposium is held in early September each year, and is generally attended by 250-300 scientists in academia and industry throughout southern California and beyond. The symposium also serves as a great opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with national and international experts in a particular field of biomedical research related to cancer.

This year's symposium entitled Physical Forces and the Hallmarks of Cancer will cover advances in understanding how intracellular and extracellular physical forces impact cancer development, microenvironment, progression, and therapy resistance. The symposium will also highlight the transdisciplinary cancer research bringing cancer biology and oncology with bioengineering and physical sciences.
