We are living in an era where immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cells and cancer vaccines are changing how clinicians treat malignancies, and the prognosis of people living with cancer. But it’s only the beginning.
Following on from the success of previous events, the 4th Cancer and Immunology Ideas Forum will again bring together the pre-clinical, translational and clinical research community for presentation of work, scientific discussion and a speed-geeking networking session to engage with leaders in this space.
