International Workshop on CAR-T (iwCAR-T) 2021

21 – 23 April 2021

VJHemOnc is proud to be an official media partner for iwCAR-T 2021, a high-level discussion forum for research leaders in the field of CAR-T. Some of the world’s leading clinical researchers in the field will share their perspectives on how to place this evolving understanding in a clinical context and thereby optimize clinical care. The overriding objectives of the iwCAR-T are to facilitate global scientific interaction and exchange focusing on top-tier research endeavors.

The iwCAR-T 2021 meeting Scientific Committee has targeted areas for discussion where new evidence, insights, therapies and approaches, have important clinical implications, including:

  • The use of CAR-T in hematological malignancies
  • Evolution of cellular therapies
  • Current progress in CAR-T for solid tumors

This event is for hematologists, researchers, nurses, and allied medical professionals only. Please apply for registration by filling in the form and confirming your details. We will review your application and confirm your registration on submission. By applying, you confirm that your details are correct and that the organizer can communicate with you regarding this event.
