Join us for this hybrid international symposium exploring the latest advances in 3D modelling of immunotherapy, from patient-derived organoids and tumour-on-chip platforms to innovative preclinical models that bring research closer to clinical application.

This event will be held on the 9th February 2026 in Barcelona, at the Science Museum COSMOCAIXA and will feature leading international experts, amongst those who already confirmed participation:

  • Frances Balkwill – Centre for Tumour Microenvironment, Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London (London, UK).
  • Calvin J. Kuo – Stanford University School of Medicine (Palo Alto, USA).
  • Maria Carla Parrini – Institut Curie, INSERM, Paris (FR).
