Date:9/10/2007

fessor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Oncology, Pathology, Urology, and Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director, Head and Neck Cancer Research at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

This new era of personalized medicine has brought with it great opportunities to enhance cancer drug development and improve patient care, Dr. Sidransky said. However, in order to harness this potential and maximize these opportunities, it is essential that there be an ongoing exchange of new ideas and information.

In addition to symposia and poster sessions, the conference will include a keynote lecture by Victor E. Velculescu, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Oncology at Johns Hopkins Universitys Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Velculescu, a cancer genetics researcher, presents an address entitled Blueprint of the Breast and Colorectal Cancer Genomes.
