AK Tumor Immunology
Meeting of the AK Tumor Immunology AK Tumor Immunology
In 2026, the AK Tumor Immunology will meet in Dresden, October 28-29, 2026 at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Bautzner Landstraße 400, 01328 Dresden.
The scientific program of the Annual Meeting will range from basic to translational research, focusing on topics such as the tumor microenvironment, the molecular mechanisms of tumor immune escape and anti-tumor immune response as well as the development of novel tumor immunotherapies and immune monitoring approaches for tumor patients.
Please note: This year, the AK Tumor Immunology meeting will be combined with the Helmholtz Association’s “Annual Immunology & Inflammation Retreat 2026”. The I&I retreat will continue immediately after the AK Tumor Immunology meeting from October 29-30, 2026 (please note: separate registration is required). This is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, network across communities, and foster new collaborations.
Goals of the Meeting
The main goal of our Annual Meeting is to promote collaboration, while giving young scientists (MD/PhD students, PostDocs) the opportunity to present their latest research findings. Thus, the majority of speakers will be selected from the abstracts submitted in order to compile the final program. The program will be further enriched by four keynote lectures from renowned experts. The conference language is English.
