About the meeting
Dear Colleagues,
Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, CSIR is hosting the 30th Annual Convention of Indian Association of Cancer Research (IACR) from 6-9th February 2011. On behalf of the entire organizing committee, I welcome you to attend the conference and enjoy our hospitality. This will also be an occasion to feel the splendour and grandeur of Kolkata.
We have arranged a strong programme highlighting both scientific and clinical aspects of cancer research. In addition to eminent scientists and clinicians from India, we have invited experts from abroad to join us in the conference. Please encourage your graduate students and post doctoral fellows to submit abstracts for the meeting as soon as possible.
The corporate section which supports research in the form of equipment and consumables will also be present during the meeting.
Moreover, you will also taste the richness of Bengali culture which has always made it unique in India.

About Kolkata
Kolkata is the capital of Indian state of West Bengal. It is located in eastern India on the east bank of the Hooghly River. Kolkata has long been known for its literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage. As the former capital of India, Kolkata was the birthplace of modern Indian literary and artistic thought. Kolkatans tend to have a special appreciation for art and literature; its tradition of welcoming new talent has made it a City of Furious Creative Energy. For these reasons, Kolkata has often been dubbed as the Cultural Capital of India or the Literary Capital of India.
