Name: 6th Annual MarketsandMarkets Next Gen Immuno-Oncology Congress- UK
Start: 2022-03-10
End: 2022-03-11
Location: ILEC Conference Center and IBIS London Earls Court, 47 Lillie Road, London, SW6 1UD

EVENT OVERVIEW

The treatment options for cancer, such as chemotherapies and radiation therapy, although have more side effects, are more widely used as compared to immunotherapies. The former are all based on destroying cancer cells by irradiation, chemotherapy, or surgery. While they can effectively kill or remove cancer cells, the use of these treatments is often limited because they tend to destroy healthy cells in large numbers as well. As immunotherapies involve the mechanism of enhancing the body’s own immunity using man-made proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, they are accepted worldwide over other treatment options.

Our 6th Annual MarketsandMarkets Next Gen Immuno-Oncology Congress to be held on 10th-11th March 2022 in London, UK would address the challenges and future directions in IO research. The congress aims to bring academicians, researchers and scientists from research institutes pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to discuss the latest updates in development of ADC’s, Bispecific Antibodies, Cellular Therapy and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. This congress would also focus on various combination strategies, pre-clinical and translational immune-oncology developments, updates in cellular and viral therapies, vaccines development and personalized immunotherapy. Keynote presentations, Brainstorming Panel Discussions and Case studies will give the stakeholders an opportunity to discuss and understand the issues faced and come up with solutions.
