Immuno-oncology: Big Data Insights in the Quest to Cure Cancer

This promising treatment at the forefront of cancer research uses the body’s immune system to recognize, target, and eliminate tumor cells. How does the immune system precisely target cells, re-evaluate and launch new attacks if needed, and use its “memory” to target and eliminate cancer if it returns?

A panel of experts will provide an overview of the immuno-oncology research landscape, including how scientists are using natural language processing (NLP), computational, and statistical learning methods for data mining and analysis, personalized oncology treatment, and to overcome treatment resistance.
