Park City Marriott, Park City, UT
June 24-27, 2004
A Workshop on Post-Transcriptional Control By Oncogenic Viruses, organized by the University of California, Irvine Cancer Research Institute, with support from a meeting grant from the National Cancer Institute, will be held on June 24-27, 2004 at the Park City Marriott, Park City, UT. The meeting will begin on Thursday evening and conclude on Saturday evening after dinner. Registration includes lodging for the nights of June 24-26th, allowing for departure on June 27th. The goal of the workshop is to bring researchers working on receptors and entry for oncogenic viruses together with investigators studying oncogenic viruses. It is hoped that interactions will lead to development and improvement of experimental models for virus-related (and other) human cancers.
