Cancer Testis Antigens: Gametogenesis Meets Oncology

Gametogenic association with cancer is a nascent but rapidly expanding field. The misexpression of these genes has long been linked to cancer, but their function has remained largely unknown. Recently, researchers have begun to uncover how these genes contribute to tumor growth and their potential as both direct and immunotherapeutic targets.

This virtual conference aims to unite diverse disciplines within cancer research, fostering collaboration between scientists and clinical researchers. This small but growing field presents an opportunity to improve health outcomes. The program will be relevant to researchers and academic faculty at all career stages.
