Today, it is imperative for basic researchers to understand and address clinical challenges and for physicians to possess the knowledge and skills to integrate and use new technologies. IMPAKT is a unique Breast Cancer Conference that meets these needs by bridging the gap between research and clinic while also providing the right environment for young professionals to network with and access the knowledge of their senior counterparts. IMPAKT focuses on translational research in breast cancer and on innovative ways of developing new agents. It is a valuable meeting which brings together pre-clinical and clinical researchers from Academia and Industry, junior and senior oncologists and facilitates the role of mentor and the importance of sharing knowledge to improve careers. The rapid translation of biologically-based laboratory discoveries into daily clinical practice is also important, but equally important is the trip back from the clinic to the laboratory, to further explore and explain clinically observed tumor biology and behavior. This course has been listed as one of the deliverables from the EU FP7-funded EurocanPlatform project. For information on EurocanPlatform visit: http://www.eurocanplatform.eu
