Immuno-Oncology Virtual Event Series 2021

This event is now apart of the Cancer Research & Immuno-Oncology Week Virtual Event Series. 

Labroots is pleased to announce the inauguration of the 2nd Annual Event in the Immuno-Oncology Virtual Event Series taking place on June 2, 2021. Immuno-Oncology is considered by some to be one of the most promising areas of research in the world of anti-cancer therapeutics. Learn from our experts how immunotherapies can work alone, together, or in combination with other treatments to fight cancer.

This year's event includes the following tracks and topics:

New Advancements in Immuno-Oncology

  • Cell Therapy Innovation
  • Checkpoint Inhibitors
  • Innate Immunity Considerations
  • Microbiome and Cancer
  • New Adaptive Immunity Considerations

Emerging Targets for Immuno-Oncology Therapy

  • Overcoming Obstacles in the Immunosuppressive Tumor Micro-environment
  • Molecular and Epigenetic Modulation
  • Cancer Immunotherapeutics and COVID-19
  • Novel Cell Therapy Targets and Engineering Strategies

Advancing Cancer Immunotherapies to the Clinic

  • Translational
  • Clinical

Recent breakthroughs in immuno-oncology research translate into a paradigm shift with regards to attacking advancing cancer. The benefits of immuno-oncology have resulted in long-lasting tumor regression where surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy proved less effective.

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 microbiology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.

Like the 2020 conference, this event will be produced on our robust platform, allowing you to watch, learn and connect seamlessly across all desktop or mobile devices. Equipped with gamification and point system, you can now move around the entire event, earning points for a chance to win one of Labroots' most popular T-shirts.



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 2021 Immuno-Oncology Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here.

Continuing Education
Labroots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 30 credits.
