Learn about the cutting edge of computational immuno-oncology through a partnership between NCI and the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC)!

In this webinar, NCI’s Dr. Charalampos Floudas and Moderna’s Dr. Wei Zheng will discuss:

therapeutic cancer vaccines,
different types of cancer vaccines, and
how to select antigen targets for cancer vaccines.

This SITC-NCI Computational Immuno-Oncology Webinar is the seventh course of eight, one-hour-long webinars designed to educate early-career scientists on computational immuno-oncology, increase participants’ awareness of and engagement in NCI-supported Cancer Moonshot^SM Immunotherapy Networks, and fulfill the Blue Ribbon Panel’s goal of accelerating progress in cancer research.
