General description
The field of immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of several cancers. Since the introduction of checkpoint protein inhibitors, the immunotherapy development has been booming, and numerous therapeutic strategies are now under development, such as cell therapy with the development of CAR-T cells, vaccination, and the development of bispecific antibodies. These new strategies will improve current treatments, especially for cancers resistant to existing immunotherapies.
The programme will place a particular emphasis on the interaction between theory, research, and practice around the problem-based approach. It will include:
- theoretical and technical courses, taught by local professors;
- practical workshops organized in small groups in local laboratories to allow students perform experimental manipulation and analysis of the experimental data.
Guest speakers will punctuate the program by giving both seminars presenting current immunotherapies development in cancer as well as in-depth research seminars.
