Conference Officer: Chris Iliffe (christopher.iliffe@eacr.org)

Join us online on 24 and 25 February 2026 to explore cutting-edge developments in immunotherapy, ranging from basic research to clinical applications, with a particular focus on innovative therapeutic strategies.

The programme will include invited talks from leading scientists in areas such as novel NK, T and myeloid cell therapies, mRNA therapies, and new combinatorial immune checkpoint blockade strategies. It will provide a broad overview and detailed knowledge of novel targets and new therapeutic strategies in this field.
