Description
Lecture by Leaf Huang, Fred Eshelman Distinguished Professor, Division of Pharmacoengineering and Molecular Pharmaceutics in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
ABOUT THIS EVENT
The tumor contains a complex microenvironment that includes many different cell types interacting with each other to promote the growth and metastasis of the tumor cells. Professor Huang's talk will first introduce the microenvironment, followed by discussions on the intervention strategies that may enhance therapeutic outcomes. He will specifically discuss targeting the tumor-associated fibroblasts and macrophages and how it can promote the immunotherapy to control cancer progression.
The Academic Lectures are a series of lectures featuring a range of in-Kingdom and international entrepreneurs, academics, and distinguished guest speakers.
