March 2023- Immuno-Oncology for the Translational Researcher Short Course (ITRSC)
The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Immuno-oncology for the Translational Researcher Short Course (ITRSC) is a cancer education and research experience that will enable eligible junior NCI-funded faculty to learn about tumor immunology, current immunotherapy-based clinical practice and cutting-edge translational research under the mentorship of expert MSKCC faculty. Program participants will attend an intensive 3-day virtual course, led by those centrally involved in basic and clinical immuno-oncology research. ITRSC participants will also have an opportunity to seek additional mentorship and guidance from world experts on immuno-oncology.
The objective of the ITRSC is to engage participants in an in-depth and participatory educational experience covering the topics relevant to clinical immunotherapy research and practice today: checkpoint blockade, novel immunomodulatory antibodies, cellular therapy, immune-monitoring, clinical trial design and development and points of integration with traditional cancer therapy.
