About this course
This exciting one-day symposium focuses on the tumour microenvironment. It will consider both the fundamental biology of the cellular interactions within the tumour microenvironment and their translational potential, drawing on the expertise of world-class speakers who are all actively engaged in research within this rapidly evolving area of tumour immunology.
This symposium will provide an ideal opportunity for networking, aiming to bring together both international authorities in tumour immunology and more junior members of the profession, who will be able to present their work in a friendly environment – either by oral or poster format.
This is an event not to be missed if you have an interest in tumour immunology!
Refreshments and lunch will be provided in the setting of the widely acclaimed Camden Lightwell of the Royal Veterinary College, an academic institution with over 200 years of heritage in veterinary medicine and bioscience.
