Pille Säälik, Tambet Teesalu, and Kadri Toome participated  at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research on April 5-9, 2014 in San Diego, California, USA. The AACR Annual Meeting is the premier cancer research event where the latest and most exciting basic, translational, and clinical discoveries are presented each year. The theme for the AACR Annual Meeting 2014 was, “Harnessing Breakthroughs – Targeting Cures” and it drew over 18,000 researchers, patient advocates, and other professionals in the cancer field from around the world.

The members of the team of Lab of Cancer Biology  were coauthors in the following poster presentations:

1. A tumor-specific tissue penetrating peptide inhibits metastasis. Kazuki N. Sugahara, Gary B. Braun, Tatiana H. De Mendoza, Venkata R. Kotamraju, Tambet Teesalu, Erkki Ruoslahti, Randall P. French, Andrew M. Lowy.
2. Targeting premalignant lesions for early breast cancer detection andAman P. Mann, Ramana Kotamraju, Tambet Teesalu, Erkki Ruoslahti.
