We welcome you to the 2025 Workshop on Cell Plasticity in Cancer Evolution registration page. This workshop will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology from May 19-22, 2025. Registration is free, but contributing participants must arrange their travel and accommodation. Please contact Maren Lehmann if you have questions.
Plasticity enables cancer cells or cells of the tumor microenvironment to change their identity, possibly affecting proliferation, quiescence, and cell motility. These mechanisms can thus counteract external pressures, e.g., during inflammation or treatment, and serve as a hotbed for unwanted adaptation, resistance evolution, and metastasis. This workshop aims to bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss the state-of-the-art and future directions that better account for cell plasticity and elucidate respective improvements in cancer treatment.
