Content
With this course we will bring a unique platform for students from 3 different PhD programs: Clinical & Translational Oncology, Infection and Immunity, Cancer Stem Cells & Development, to meet and learn from each other’s expertise.
The course will focus on Immuno-oncology, both on tumor effects on the immune system, and immune therapies. Both existing therapies, and novel therapies still under development or in trials will be discussed.
Students will be taught on the subject by medical specialists and scientists, and will be challenged to work with their colleagues from another expertise to find solutions for a clinical or experimental problem.
