R Clarke PhD, DSc Dean for Research, Georgetown University Medical Center, and co-Director of the Breast Cancer Research Program, Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Washington DC, USA Dr Clarke is an internationally recognized leader in breast cancer research. his research applies cellular, molecular, and computational methods to data from ongoing translational studies in both humans and experimental models to explorethe mechanisms driving resistance to antihormone and cytotoxic therapies in breast cancer. He has developed a series of hormone resistant breast cancer models that are now widely used in the field.			A Di Cristofano PhD Professor of Developmental and Molecular Biology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY, USA Professor Di Cristofano's general area of expertise is cancer biology and signaling. His work has made seminal contributions to the elucidation of the key role played by the PI3K signaling cascade in the pathogenesis of follicular and anaplastic thyroid cancer. His current research is focused on the identification of the genetic, metabolic, and signaling changes associated in vivo with thyroid cancer progression and resistance to therapy using sophisticated genetically modified mouse models.
P Ghosh PhD Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine in the University of California Davis, CA, USA Dr Ghosh's expertise lies in the study of signal transduction pathways – especially related to prostate cancer. She holds joint appointments in the Department of Urology, University of California Davis and with the VA Northern California Health Care System. Dr Ghosh is a chartered member of the Basic Mechanisms in Cancer Therapeutics Study Section of the National Institutes of Health, and has also been a repeat reviewer for the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs			W W de Herder MD, PhD Professor of Endocrine Oncology, Head of Education in Endocrinology and Head of the ENETS Centre of Excellence for Neuroendocrine Tumors, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands Professor de Herder's major research interests are neuroendocrine and adrenal tumors/Cushing's syndrome.
