News: Webinar: Immunoregulation and the tumor microenvironment

February 2, 2021 | Webinar: Immunoregulation and the tumor microenvironment | IUIS

Join the next IUIS (International Union of Immunological Societies), Immunopaedia and Frontiers webinar on immunoregulation and the tumor microenvironment with Pamela Ohashi. Supported by Thermo Fisher Scientific – LIVE on February 8, 16:00 SAST

About

Although PD-1 blockade has transformed cancer treatment, a deeper understanding of tumor immunobiology and inhibitory mechanisms are needed to take immunotherapy to the next level. My talk will cover topics including the cell types that express key B7 family members and their receptors including PD-L1, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-1 and discuss whether these findings align with the traditional views for what is going on in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, I will cover unexpected immunoregulatory mechanisms that we have found focusing on innate lymphoid cells.

When

Monday February 8, 2021, starting at 3:00 PM CET

Presenter

Dr. Ohashi received her Ph.D from the University of Toronto with Dr. Tak Mak, and did her post-doctoral training at the University of Zurich with the Nobel Laureate Dr. Zinkernagel, and Dr. Hans Hengartner. She is a Senior Scientist and Director of the Tumor Immunotherapy Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and a Professor in the Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto. Her interests include understanding CD8+ T cell biology and mechanisms that regulate anti-tumor immunity.
