How can we harness our own immune system better to help defeat cancer? Join us for an enlightening evening as we explore groundbreaking research in cancer and immunotherapy.
Lung, pancreatic, and gastric (stomach) cancer remain the most lethal of cancers worldwide. While immunotherapy has revolutionised treatment, many patients still face resistance and limited benefits. Our research aims to change that.
This lecture will unveil our latest discoveries on how chronic inflammation drives a lot of cancers and how targeting the immune system’s innate response could lead to breakthrough treatments. Learn how our body’s first line of defence – the innate immune system, may hold the key to answering our biggest questions about cancer.
This event is free and open to the public. We welcome you to be part of the conversation that could shape the future of cancer treatment.
