Tumor Immunology and Immune Therapy of Cancer

Karolinska Institutet

This course covers basic and applied immunology and a current review of experimental research and clinical application of tumor immunology. Both pre-clinical and clinical aspects of cancer vaccination, adoptive cell therapy, and antibody therapy will be discussed. Development of novel therapies through modification of immune cell subsets will be presented. Features of the tumor microenvironment, cancer-associated inflammation, immune surveillance and escape, and immunosuppression will also be discussed.

Lecturers may also share their own research activities during the presentations. One day is dedicated to lectures by invited international experts in the field.
