We are happy to officially announce our 3rd IMMUNO-model Training School on “Liquid Biopsies in Hematological Malignancies – identification of immunotherapy biomarkers”, from 30th June to 2nd July 2025, at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.
This training school aims to provide an introduction and comprehensive training in the role of liquid biopsies in diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and drug response evaluation, including drug resistance, in hematological malignancies. It will cover fundamental concepts, advanced strategies and techniques, practical approaches and clinical applications. Participants will attend lectures, engage in interactive panel discussions, and participate in hands-on sessions to enhance their understanding and skills in these cutting-edge fields.
Priority for places and reimbursement will be given to IMMUNO-model PhD students and young researchers (COST’s definition of Young Researchers and Innovators (YRIs) is those engaged in research under the age 40 years old). The next priority level will be given to maintain a good balance of: gender, age, country and institution of affiliation. Please indicate in your application if the YRI definition applies to you. Otherwise, priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.
More information will follow in the coming weeks and the application process will also open shortly.
