The 1st annual Cell Therapy at the Limits conference is a two-day medical education meeting which brings together a notable faculty of globally acknowledged experts who will consider new scientific discoveries and therapies at the limits of cell therapy research and treatment.
The Chairs for the inaugural Cell Therapy event join us from some of the world’s leading research and clinical centres. With unique viewpoints from Europe and the US, they each bring different perspectives and experiences to the event, and they have jointly developed a programme which has broad appeal to clinical oncologists as well as a depth of experience from the speakers who are confirmed to attend.
