7th CELL THERAPY SYMPOSIUM
NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2023
DEAR COLLEAGUES,
Since our last Cell Therapy Symposium only one year has elapsed. Within this short period of time, tremendous progress has been made in our clinic regarding CAR T cell therapy: more than 200 patients have received this innova- tive treatment at our center. In Europe more than 2.000 pa- tients have been treated for acute leukemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma with remarkable success. Therefore the therapeutical algorithms for the treatment of these diseases need to be revisited. Moreover, the safe manage- ment of cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity and pro- longed cytopenia will be highlighted in this symposium. In addition, novel targets and preclinical research for further development of immunogene therapy will be discussed.
We cordially invite all participating physicians, scientists and doctoral fellows to submit abstracts. All abstracts will be presented as poster during the two days of the conference. Best posters will be presented as short talks during the meeting.
Please submit your abstracts till October 5, 2023.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our symposium.
With very warm regards from Heidelberg
