Program Description

The Primer provides an overview of tumor immunology and biological therapy by leaders in the field to educate viewers on both the biologic underpinnings of the field, as well as recent basic science and clinical developments. This webinar was created from the live program that was held in conjunction with the iSBTc 22nd Annual Meeting in Boston, MA.

The webinar consists of video-taped presentations by each speaker synchronized to their slide-set as it appeared during the program. This webinar will be available for viewing online at no cost through 2008. A CD-ROM of this program is available for a minimal fee by completing the order form below. By purchasing the CD, you’ll be able to keep this valuable tool and view it at anytime.

Intended Audience

The target audience for this webinar is basic and clinical investigators from academic, regulatory, and biopharmaceutical venues serving as post-doctoral fellows, researchers, students, allied health professionals or clinical residents and fellows.

Objectives

  • Provide a current overview of immunology as it applies to cancer therapy
  • Educate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty as to the current status of the fields of biological therapy and tumor immunology
  • Educate the audience regarding key conceptual underpinnings of tumor immunology and biological therapy
  • Provide an overview regarding clinical applications of biological therapy for the treatment of cancer

Outcomes

Participants will learn about central concepts and recent advances in the field of biological therapy, including cancer vaccines, vaccine adjuvants, host-tumor interactions, the role of “danger” signals in integrating innate and adaptive immunity, T cell therapy, angiogenesis, antibody therapy and cytokines.
