Arrowhead Publishers and Conferences, Washington, DC
April 4-5, 2013


ARROWHEAD'S 2nd Annual Cancer Immunotherapy Conference will provide a comprehensive review of cutting edge research and development in two areas:

  • Cancer Stem Cells as a new category of Targets for Immune Intervention for solid and hematological malignancies

  • Hematopoietic Stem Cell and T Cell Engineering for cancer immunotherapy

The conference is bringing together leading scientists and C-Level executives from across the globe to present research, case studies and viewpoints on topics related to stem cells and cancer immunotherapy.

CONFERENCE TRACKS

There will be three sequential tracks focused on the following topics:

  • Exploiting the hierarchical organization of hematological cancers by advancing immune interventions against stem cells
  • Tumor initiating and cancer stem cells in solid tumors: novel targets and theirimmunotherapeutic potential
  • Novel approaches to re-direct the immune system against cancer, by engineering hematological stem cells and memory T cells
