2015 Annual Meeting & Associated Programs: 2015 Workshop on New Perspectives for Target Antigens in the Changing Cancer Immunotherapy Landscape November 5, 2015 Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center National Harbor, MD Program OrganizersVictor H. Engelhard, PhD – University of Virginia School of Medicine Brad Nelson, PhD – BC Cancer Agency Paul F. Robbins, PhD – National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute Robert D. Schreiber, PhD – Washington University School of MedicineProgram SummaryFrom the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), these enduring materials from the 2015 Workshop on New Perspectives for Target Antigens in the Changing Cancer Immunotherapy Landscape provide a snapshot of current research related to the identification of tumor antigens, characterization and isolation of specific T-cells for therapy, and discovery of neo-antigens all aimed at enabling the next generation of immunotherapies. Specific approaches driving immunotherapy discovery presented comprise the use of whole exome and RNAseq analysis, MHC multimers, tumor infilitrating lymphocytes (TILs), the mutanome, checkpoint blockade and control of tumor immunity. Target AudienceThe target audience for this program includes basic scientists and clinical investigators from academic institutions, industry and regulatory agencies—clinicians, translational and basic researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows involved in cancer research.#Researcher #Industry #Vaccines #Clinician #2015 #AnnualMeeting #Biomarkers #ClinicalTrials #LungCancers #Melanoma #PresentationSlides #SITC #AdoptiveCellTherapy #ColorectalCancer #CombinationTherapy #Oncologist #Video
