The Institute's inaugural Annual Symposium will be held at the Li Ka Shing Centre on 12-13 September 2008. The Symposium, entitled "Unanswered Questions in the Tumour Microenvironment" will focus on the challenges of cancer research, specifically:

• Can CD8+ T cells function in the tumour microenvironment?
• How does inflammation cause cancer?
• Unanswered questions in the tumour vasculature: blood vessels, lymphatics, etc.
• How critical are stromal factors in tumourigenesis?

Registration for the Symposium is limited to the first 160 registrants.
