XVIII. Myeloma and VI. Cell Therapy Workshop 2023 

     

About the workshop

The Myeloma and Cell Therapy Workshop is a two-day event with the goal of bringing bright minds together and discussing a wide range of hematooncology subjects, to foster learning, inspiration, and wonder – and to provoke conversations that matter in the field.
 
The MCTW will host over 20 international speakers that will give talks related to both basic myeloma research (genomic and mol-cell-bio) and more clinically oriented sections, exploring the new horizons and challenges of cell therapy in the context of multiple myeloma, focusing on improving the current immunotherapy, and discussing the new prognostic biomarkers in monoclonal gammopathies.
 
Our goal is to bring leading scientists from the field to discuss the latest developments, share ideas, network, and inspire conversations. And last but not least, we would like to promote collaborations among different groups of scientists from diverse backgrounds in order to accelerate translational research.
