2012 Retreat of the SFB021 in Obergurgl

From January 25 until January 27.2012 SFB021 scientists and colleagues from our oncology-community met for the yearly retreat in Obergurgel. The Obergurgl University Centre is located at an altitude of 1940 meters, in the highest glacial village in the Tyrol, at the end of the Ötz Valley and surrounded by numerous three thousandmeter peaks and as such ideally suited for discussing exciting science in a community fostering setting.
Like in other years many clinical doctors and scientists from the Oncoytrol center for personalized cancer medicine participated together with members from the SFB021-young investigator program, former SFB021 members and our “onco”-emeriti professors, Hans Grunicke and Wilhelm Sachsenmaier.
The program was intense and all groups could present short talks and posters. Prices were given to the best posters, presented by Claudia Mattisek (Teis group), TarasStasyk (Huber group) and Jonathan Vosper (Hengst group). In addition the best talk given by MadisJocobsen (Fässler group) was honored with a price. We thank our emeriti professors for serving as the price committee.
The program included sessions in clinical oncology, cell biology of cancer, experimental oncology and immunology as well as omics and bioinformatics. In addition a SFB021 assembly was held and several round table discussions dealing with embryo transfer and potential ideas for a succeeding SFB program after 2014.
In summary, the science was excellent, the atmosphere great and many new collaborations will emerge from this retreat. It was a most lively sign of the “onco”-community in Innsbruck!
