Synopsis

Immunotherapy is a hot-topic field of research that has generated significant scientific interest and fuelled industrial innovation.

It has been demonstrated that small, drug-like molecules can be highly effective modulators of immune response pathways and that their molecular properties can be fine-tuned to enable excellent cell permeability and bioavailability. This makes them ideal for use in the treatment of chronic conditions such as autoimmune and inflammation-related diseases. Excitingly, this approach also offers the possibility to treat cancer by harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight tumours.

This meeting will offer a broad introduction to those new to the topic and showcase recent innovations by academic and industrial scientists in this exciting and rapidly expanding field.

Call for posters

An abstract of maximum one A4 page or 300 words indicating title and authors should be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Monday 31 January 2022 with the subject line “What's New in Immunotherapies - poster abstract submission". Please use the template attached here.

Attendees

The event is targeted at research students, researchers, academic and industrial scientists engaged in all aspects of research into small molecule immunotherapy, and those interested in broadening their knowledge in this growing field.

This event is being held back to back with "Targeting protein degradation 3 – from discovery to the clinic".
