Cancer Research & Immuno-Oncology Week Virtual Event Series 2023

Labroots is excited to bring leading academia and industry experts, research scholars, healthcare and medical professionals, clinicians, oncologists, and top scientists under one virtual roof at our 11th Annual Event in the Cancer Research & Immuno-Oncology Week Virtual Event Series, hosted on October 3-5, 2023.  

Cancer Research & Immuno-Oncology Week 2023 will offer a 3-day content-rich program providing invited lectures, thought-provoking discussions and posters to explore global developments and advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of different cancer types. Each year, we see progress in immunotherapy and treatments in targeted and personalized therapeutics and drug development, and a decrease in mortality rates due to a strong focus on learning more about the origination of the disease.

Recent breakthroughs in immuno-oncology research translate into a paradigm shift to attacking cancer, and the benefits of immuno-oncology have resulted in long-lasting tumor regression where surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy proved less effective. As immuno-oncology is considered by some to be one of the most promising areas of research in the world of anti-cancer therapeutics, you'll also learn from experts how immunotherapies can work alone, together, or in a combination with other treatments to fight cancer.

The topics and tracks for this year's event include:

Day 1- Cancer Research:

  • Using Genomics/Genetics to Influence Clinical Applications
  • Single-Cell Methods for Cancer Discovery
  • Using Image Analysis in Cancer Research and Treatment
  • Cancer Systems Biology

  • Data Management and Automation using LIMS for Cancer Research Labs

Novel Targeted Therapies in Cancer:

  • Combination and Personalized Therapies
  • Targeted Delivery of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapies
  • New Developments in Pediatric Cancer Therapies
  • Organoid Platforms for Predicating Responses
  • Epigenetics in Cancer/Multi-Omics

Day 2- Immuno-Oncology:

  • Host Response/Computational Approaches
  • Neoantigen Vaccines
  • The Microbiome in Immuno-Oncology
  • Exosomes in Cancer Detection
  • Molecular Targets to Engage Anticancer Immunity

Cell Therapy

  • Addressing Inhibitory Barriers in the Tumor Microenvironment
  • Novel Engineering Strategies
  • Emerging Cell Therapy Targets
    • Bi-Specific Antibodies

Day 3- Cancer Research Networks, Epidemiology, and Patient Advocacy:

  • Cancer Health Disparities
    • Equitable Distribution of Healthcare
    • Data Disparity, Its Impact, and Potential Analytic Mitigation
  • Research Networks
  • Advocating for the Patient
  • Using EHR Data to Advance Cancer Therapy
  • Cancer Epidemiology

Call for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary, and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2023 Cancer Research and Oncology Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here.

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event, and the webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing.  This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global cancer research and immuno-oncology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
