Happy Holidays from iSBTc!

Thank you for your support of our society, mission and programs. We are wrapping up another successful year with the conclusion of the 24th Annual Meeting and iSBTc-FDA-NCI Workshop on Prognostic and Predictive Immunotherapy Biomarkers in Cancer held in Washington, D.C. in late October.

These programs shared exciting scientific findings, addressed important challenges, and fostered collaboration and networking among colleagues in immunotherapy/biological therapy of cancer. The achievements of these programs are verified by record-breaking attendance, international and young investigator participation, and scientific presentations. Even if you had to miss the programs, don’t miss the science!
