Online Course: Introduction to Immunology

This interactive course provides an overview of the immune system, focusing on the mechanisms by which the immune system eliminates foreign pathogens and cancer cells. The foundation knowledge presented in this course is critical to understanding how the immune system can be harnessed to treat cancer through immunotherapy.

Webinar: Meet-the-Expert Webinar – Careers in Government

Date: Monday, December 7, 2020 
Time: 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET

This one-hour webinar, moderated by Chris Langsdorf (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and presented by Jennifer Gao, MD (FDA) and Kathryn Lurain, MD, MPH (NCI), will discuss the various career paths and opportunities available in government. This webinar, intended for early career scientists, will also feature a Q&A session where attendees can connect with these experts in the field.
