The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) is pleased to offer the fifth FREE webinar in the SITC-NCI Computational Immuno-oncology live webinar series, "Multi-dimensional Computationally Defined Biomarkers: Computational Science in Immuno-oncology".
Webinar Description: This webinar will describe four approaches for predicting patients’ response to checkpoint immunotherapy recently developed in Dr. Ruppin’s lab, including: (1) predicting patients’ response to the tumor bulk transcriptome, (2) predicting response directly from the blood via simple routine lab tests and the tumor mutational burden, (3) predicting patients’ immunotherapy response from the tumor histopathological images, and (4) building predictors of the tumor microenvironment and developing spatially-grounded biomarkers of treatment response. We will conclude by discussing challenges and the road ahead.
Key leaders in the field who are experts in their respective fields will provide an overview of the current state of the science and address questions about its future.
- Faculty Speaker: Eytan Ruppin, MD, PhD – National Institutes of Health
- Moderator: Timothy Shaw, PhD – Moffitt Cancer Center
An interactive Q&A session will follow the topic overview, providing participants with the opportunity to ask in-depth questions of the faculty.
