CSHL 2026 Meeting on Mechanisms & Models of Cancer - COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY CONFERENCE MECHANISMS AND MODELS OF CANCER August 18 - 22, 2026 Recent years have produced transformative discoveries that have revealed the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, both from the perspective of the cancer cell and the host response. These advances have resulted in targeted cancer therapies that have extended patient survival, as well as new immunotherapies that have, in some cases, resulted in cures of previously intractable malignancies. Stunning technological developments have enabled us to interrogate the cancer genome and epigenome with unprecedented depth and sophistication, uncovering the challenges that tumor heterogeneity imposes for cancer therapy, while also enabling more accurate therapeutic monitoring. Advances in functional genomic technologies allow us to turn oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes on and off at will in vitro and in vivo to determine their function. Tumor models, such as human cancer organoids, have been developed, revealing new insights into cancer cell biology, while also enabling the rapid identification and testing of new therapeutics. With advances in structural biology, we can examine the three-dimensional structure of oncogenic proteins and protein complexes, facilitating development of small molecule inhibitors or antagonistic antibodies. Powerful strategies also allow us to interrogate how metabolic reprogramming occurs in cancer cells, opening up the possibility of novel therapeutic approaches that exploit metabolic vulnerabilities. Improvements in computational biology are yielding new insights into biological networks and tumor evolution. Dissemination and use of these technologies, models and mechanism-based approaches in this fast-moving field is greatly facilitated by meetings that bring investigators together to present and openly discuss their latest unpublished research findings. We also need to train the next generation of leaders in the field, and an essential part of this process is this fantastic opportunity for young investigators, such as graduate students and postdocs, to present their work and interact one-on-one with senior investigators. The Mechanisms and Models of Cancer meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is one of the premier vehicles for promoting the next intellectual leaps in cancer research and propelling the field into the future to the benefit of cancer patients. Each session will be chaired by two established scientists in the field, who will establish the format of each session based on submitted abstracts. The chairs will introduce and give an overview of the topics in their sessions and a brief update on their own research. The precise scope of the individual sessions will be decided on the basis of the openly submitted abstracts. Particular emphasis will be given to promoting the active participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and new investigators, as well as of leading scientists in the field. Three leading experts in cancer biology will deliver keynote addresses during the conference. It is anticipated that the meeting will provide unique opportunities for the exchange of data and ideas by both junior and senior investigators in different areas of research as they apply to many aspects of carcinogenesis. Given the success of past meetings held at CSHL on this topic between 1996 and 2024, we anticipate the attendance of about 400 scientists from laboratories around the world.
