The 2012 meeting is intended to bring together a diverse group
of scientists studying various molecular, genetic and biochemical
approaches to the analysis of the PTEN pathway at the cellular
level and in develo pment and diseases including cancer, diabetes,
and neurological disorders such as autism. Junior and senior
researchers will join to discuss their latest research findings
and tech nical approaches toward the analysis of the PTEN pathway.
Particular emphasis will be given to model systems, disease
pathogenesis and therapy. While a number of speakers have been
invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations
will be drawn from openly submitted abstracts.
