Harnessing the power of the immune system to fight cancer has been the most important breakthrough in the current oncological era. However, understanding the complex regulatory networks and dynamic interactions between a multitude of immune cell populations in order to elicit a tumor-specific immune response is challenging. Interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative efforts are needed to synergize knowledge and expertise. Therefore, we would like to connect immunological and oncological expertise within the UKE and bring groups together at our first "UCCH Immuno-Oncology Symposium 2019".

The goal of this internal UKE symposium is that pure immunological groups, who do not have an oncological focus, and oncological groups, who are currently building up immunological expertise, meet in order to present their focus of research, share technological expertise and start a dialogue.
