Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research

This year marks the 40th anniversary of successfully cloning human T-cell receptor, a significant milestone in immunology and cancer therapy.

Join us in celebrating this breakthrough at T cell receptor symposium, featuring esteemed global immunologists, including Nobel Prize winner and more:

🧑‍🔬Dr. James Allison: 2018 Nobel Prize winner for Physiology and Medicine, whose findings established the field of immune checkpoint blockage therapy for cancer.

🧑‍🔬Dr. Tak Mak: 2023 winner of the International Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Cancer Research from the Pezcoller Foundation and the American Association for Cancer Research, known for his role in the cloning of the gene encoding the human T cell receptor beta chain in 1984, paving the way for existing immunotherapies, including CAR-T therapy and TCR-T therapy.

🧑‍🔬Dr. Michael Sadelain: 2024 winner of the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences and the Canada Gairdner International Award, for his contributions to the field of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), from design to clinical translations.

Discover latest immunology trends in treating cancers and beyond at this one-day event. No RSVP needed.
