Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce the ABCD Meeting Mechanisms of Signal Transduction, to be held in Firenze on 16-17 March 2012.

The conference venue is the Grand Hotel Mediterraneo that overlooks the famous Arno river in Florence, with a gorgeous view of the city's Renaissance beauties along the Arno and the hills of Florence.

This edition, our Keynote Speaker is Prof. Piero Crespo (Instituto de Biomedicina y Biotecnología de Cantabria, Departamento de Biología Molecular Universidad de Cantabria), and three sessions will focus on the following topics:

• Cell signalling in cancer
• Cell signalling in the control of cell differentiation and development
• Cell signalling in the control of gene expression

The talks will be given by Ph.D. students and postdocs, selected from submitted abstracts.

Abstracts are accepted exclusively through this website (please check the Registration page). The deadline for abstract submission is 03 March 2012.

ABCD members benefit from reduced registration fees.

With this attractive combination of high-quality science and history we look forward to welcoming you to Florence.
