This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Course title Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Understand how the human immune system interact and shape the phenotype of cancer 2. Gain in depth knowledge on the methodologies used to study the immune response to cancer 3. Understand how cancer immunotherapies work in the clinical setting 4. Critically evaluate novel therapeutic approaches using the immune system to combat cancer Content This course cover all the main aspect of cancer immunology and immunotherapy, from the bench to the bedside. The focus of the course shifts between day 1-2, where basic and translational research are the main topics, to day 3 where the application of this knowledge in the clinic is presented. In day 1-2, selected aspects of the generation of immune response to cancer, avoidance of immune destruction, immune targets on cancer cells as well as how to evaluate immune response to cancer and use this knowledge to develop novel treatments will be discussed by active researchers in the field. Day 3 is fully dedicated to the application of cancer immunotherapy in the clinical arena to cover both clinical research and real-wold application of cancer immunotherapies in western health systems. Participants The course is relevant for PhD students who work on cancer or immunology related PhD projects, and aim to broaden their knowledge on basic, translational and clinical aspects of cancer immunology research. As such, PhD students engaged in basic, applied, and clinical cancer research projects are all welcome. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Clinical Cancer Research Immunology and Infectious Diseases Cellular and Genetic Medicine Language English Form Lectures Course director Marco Donia, MD, PhD, junior group leader, CCIT-DK, Herlev Hospital. marco.donia@regionh.dk Teachers Professor Per Thor Straten Profesor Niels Behrrendt M.Sc., Ph.D. student, Pia Aehnlich Senior Professor Rolf Kiessling M.Sc., PhD Gitte Holmen Olofsson M.Sc., PhD, Daniel Hargbøl Madsen Professor Mads Hald Andersen Associate Professor Lars Rønn Olsen MD, PhD Marco Donia MD, PhD Morten Orebo Holmström Director Mikkel Wandahl Pedersen Professor Inge Marie Svane MD, PhD Troels Holz Borch Chairman of the Danish Medicines Council, Steen Werner Hansen Member of the Board, Melanoma Patient Network, Sanne Wiingreen Andrew Furness, Royal Marsden and Institute of Cancer Research London MD, PhD Eva Ellebæk Dates September 9-11, 2020, 9-16 all days Course location Auditorium H2, Herlev Hospital Registration Please register before August 5, 2020 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules.
