3rd International Florence Symposium: From Genes to Target Therapy in Hematology
Hematology is a continuously changing discipline virtuously standing half the way between the bench and the bed. It is continuously informed by advancements in genetics and pathophysiology that, at a sometimes incredible pace, translated into diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic benefits for the patients.
The third edition of the Florence Symposium “From genes to targeted therapy in hematology” will host international KOL presenting the latest news in oncologic and non-oncologic hematologic diseases with the aim to boost knowledge and interactions among participants.

2nd European Cancer Dependency Map Symposium
Following the success of the first European Cancer Dependency Map Symposium in 2023, we are excited to announce the 2nd edition, to be held at Human Technopole. The event aims to convene world-leading experts in the fields of functional genomics and genome-editing screens to advance the discovery of new cancer vulnerabilities and therapeutic targets. It will also serve as a valuable platform for early-career researchers to engage with cutting-edge developments and foster scientific exchange. A new feature of this year’s programme is a dedicated segment on AI tools and advanced computational approaches.
The agenda includes talks by renowned scientists, an extended panel discussion with experts from industry and an editor from Nature Genetics, as well as three short poster sessions. Participants are warmly encouraged to submit an abstract for a chance to present their work.
The 2nd Cancer Dependency Map Symposium represents a great opportunity within the Italian and the international research landscape to explore the latest breakthroughs and gain insights into the future of the systematic identification of tumour vulnerabilities.
