đź“… When: February 9th, 2026
📍 Where: To be confirmed in Barcelona (ES)

Join us for a one-day 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.

The event will feature leading international experts, amongst those who already confirmed participation:

  • Emile Voest – The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI), Amsterdam (NL)
  • Frances Balkwill – Barts Cancer Institute, London (UK)
  • Calvin J. Kuo – Stanford University (USA)
  • Maria Carla Parrini – Institut Curie, INSERM, Paris (FR)

🔹 Who should attend?
Researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals in cancer immunotherapy, translational oncology, and preclinical modelling.

Brindis con relleno sĂłlido IMMUNO-model members will have the opportunity of presenting their work.

🌍 Hybrid format: Attend in person in Barcelona or join us online.

→ Registrations will open at the end of October 2025!
