In last few decades, numerous anticancer agents have been discovered as a result of understanding of the molecular basis

of cancer. Translational cancer research provide an approach for understanding the spectrum of diseases with applications

in disease prevention, diagnosis, and management. The key feature of this national conference is to discuss drug

discovery, development and explore opportunities of novel therapeutic strategies to combat cancer by active involvement

of academicians, scientists and clinicians from different disciplines. This conference will make an attempt to bring together

distinguished scientists and budding researchers to discuss and deliberate on the opportunities and future prospects of

Cancer drug development. We look forward to provide various interactive sessions for exchange of knowledge and

discussions for providing cutting edge research for identification of targets for diagnosis of cancer and its treatment. This

conference will enrich the knowledge and stimulate young minds to develop interest in the area of cancer. The conference
