1st Workshop “Modelling Immuno-Oncology” took place on March 30th, 2023 as online event. The objective was to provide an introduction to various technologies and various model species.
The “Modeling Immuno-Oncology” workshop focused on in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro models. Internationally renowned speakers presented their work on a rich selection of topics such as targeted therapies, the role of select pathways and translational patient models.
Number of participants: 197, targeted audience: advanced scientists, postdocs and PhD students.
The workshop was very successful and a good starting point for future collaborations within the group.
