2023 SCION Faculty & Organizers

Immunometabolism is an exciting field with several critical connections to cancer immunology, most notably through studies of immune cell, cancer cell, and microbiome metabolism. The program will feature in-depth discussions into the latest scientific insights on the impact of metabolism on cancer and immunity and the newest translational studies investigating how reprogramming metabolic pathways can improve immunotherapies like cell therapies or checkpoint blockade.

Basic, translational, and clinical scientists in attendance will benefit as they learn more about the fast-paced and exciting field of immunometabolism and its impact in the field of cancer immunotherapy. 

Target Audience

The target audience for this program includes clinical, basic and translational researchers from academic, industry, or government settings with an interest in the relationship between metabolism, cancer biology, microbiome, and anti-cancer immunity.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the roles of immune, microbiome, and cancer metabolism in the treatment of cancer with immunotherapy
  • Outline methods to investigate how metabolism impacts cancer and immune cell differentiation and function
  • Analyze therapeutic approaches to reprogram metabolic processes to improve cancer immunotherapies

Photography Policy and Meeting Code of Conduct 

SITC often employs the services of a professional photographer/videographer at SITC events to capture images and audiovisual (AV) recordings for use in society archival and promotional material. Your attendance at SITC events implies your permission for images and an AV recording captured to be used for purposes of SITC archival materials, promotional materials, and publications, and waives your rights for compensation or ownership of these images.

COVID-19 Measures 

At SITC programs, our goal is to have a safe and meaningful in-person experience. SITC will refer to the CDC COVID-19 Community Levels to guide health precautions for in-person meetings. In addition, SITC strongly recommends that in-person meeting attendees take the following precautions:

·        Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations

·        Take a rapid COVID test prior to attending a meeting and do not attend in person if you test positive

·        Do not attend the meeting if you have symptoms that could be consistent with a “cold” or any other respiratory infection and leave the meeting if you develop such symptoms

·        Wear a mask in crowded indoor settings 

·        Follow all health and safety protocols as required by SITC and local and state health departments

·        Review current CDC and applicable local guidance for protecting yourself from COVID-19.

Attendees will have access to the meeting content online if they are unable to attend in person due to illness or a positive COVID test. For hybrid programs, attendees can change from in-person to online-only registration by contacting events@sitcancer.org.

Registered attendees will be notified in advance of any changes to precautions, recommendations or requirements for a SITC meeting.

Cancellation / Refund Policy 

Refund requests should be submitted in writing to the SITC office at events@sitcancer.org by February 19, 2024. A $25 processing fee will be charged for all paid registrations. All refunds will be processed within two weeks of receipt. No refunds will be granted if cancellation is received after February 19, 2024.
