In 1997 a number of laboratories found that epidermal, neural and mesodermal tumors develop in Xenopus embryos in response to inappropriate expression of Gli and p53 oncogenes. A number of additional oncogenes were found to have similar properties in the following year. This small workshop will draw together interested researchers in an informal environment in which the cellular and molecular basis of tumor generation can be discussed and unifying principles explored. Seminars and a number of open discussions in an intimate setting are planned to promote the exchange of ideas. In order to be placed on the mailing list please contact one of the organizers ;
