Nature at the AACR 2007 homepage

From 14-18 April 2007, cancer researchers from all over the world will gather in Los Angeles, California, for the 98th Annual Meeting for American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). This year is particularly important, as it celebrates 100 years of the AACR's fight against cancer. If you are able to make it to Los Angeles, be sure to stop by booth #951 to pick up a sample copy of Nature and/or your favorite cancer research title from Nature Publishing Group.

To commemorate this great achievement, we are providing a special podcast and web focus on cancer genomics. Throughout the meeting, our editors will be updating you through our newsblog and you can also meet the Nature Publishing Group editors in attendance.
