Program Summary
Each year this Primer course has successfully provided a series of lectures that addresses the most important domains of tumor immunology and immunotherapy. Faculty for this course have been prominent investigators in the area of interest, which vary from year to year, but always cover the core principles of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. The faculty has been able to move successfully from the more basic principles to the more advanced and cutting-edge research ideas over their one hour lecture each year. A large percentage of iSBTc members and other attend the immunology primer either once or repetitively to meet their educational needs in these areas and to help them get more out of the subsequent general meeting.

Target Audience
The target audience for these programs incorporates basic and clinical investigators from academic, regulatory and biopharmaceutical venues. The audience includes clinicians, researchers, students, post-doctoral fellows and allied health professionals.
