<\/strong><\/span>Massachusetts General Hospital\/Harvard<\/em> University
Keynote Speaker<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Jain is a renowned world expert in understanding how changes in the microenvironment that surrounds tumors affect the immune system, drug delivery, treatment efficacy, and patient survival. Dr. Jain discovered the theory that an imbalance of vessel growth in tumors resulted in leaky blood vessels that caused edema, lack of oxygen and immunosuppression.<\/p>\n

Arul Chinnaiyan, MD, PhD<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

University of Michigan
<\/em><\/strong>Keynote Speaker<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A leading figure in cancer research, Dr. Chinnaiyan demonstrated the presence of chromosomal rearrangements in solid tumors previously thought to only occur in blood malignancies and has made seminal contributions to precision oncology. He has made a significant impact on the understanding of the mechanisms of apoptosis, contributing to the identification and cloning of key mediators in the programmed cell death cascade including\u00a0Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD), FLICE\/Caspase-8 and Death Receptor-3 (DR-3).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keynote Speakers Rakesh Jain, PhD Massachusetts General Hospital\/Harvard UniversityKeynote Speaker Dr. Jain is a renowned world expert in understanding how changes in the microenvironment that surrounds tumors affect the immune system, drug delivery, treatment efficacy, and patient survival. Dr. Jain discovered the theory that an imbalance of vessel growth in tumors resulted in leaky blood vessels that caused edema, lack of oxygen and immunosuppression. More Arul Chinnaiyan, MD, PhD University of MichiganKeynote Speaker A leading figure in cancer research, Dr. Chinnaiyan demonstrated the presence of chromosomal rearrangements in solid tumors previously thought to only occur in blood malignancies and has made seminal contributions to precision oncology. He has made a significant impact on the understanding of the mechanisms of apoptosis, contributing to the identification and cloning of key mediators in the programmed cell death cascade including\u00a0Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD), FLICE\/Caspase-8 and Death Receptor-3 (DR-3).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MoreInvited Speakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244478,"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions\/244478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/tmcs2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
