MASTERING TRANSLATIONAL IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY

The event SALZBURG BREAST CANCER TALK, MASTERING TRANSLATIONAL IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY from 02. to 03.03.2018, in the PITTER Event Center Salzburg was again a complete success with over 90 participants. The lecturers, including many internationally renowned scientists, were able to providea the expert audience with impressive insights into their research at the pulse of time and also left enough room for interaction. The lively participation of the audience in the discussions proved this emphatically.

The second successful edition of this event confirmed our intention to create a platform in breast cancer immunotherapy and research that will enable rapid and efficient translation of preclinical research into clinical development. In order to implement this in a sustainable manner, a repeat of the event is planned for next year, which is intended to take this symposium, which is currently unique in Europe, to the next level.


The extremely positive feedback from the speakers and the audience about the program composition and the implementation of the event confirm that the organization was once again successful. We would also like to thank the team of the PITTER Event Center, which has always made every effort to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the speakers for coming and all the participants for their numerous attendance. We would like to thank AstraZeneca, Roche, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Pfizer, Bristol Myers-Squibb and Novartis for their financial support, without which this event would not have been possible.
As soon as a date for the Salzburg Breast Cancer Talk 2019 is set, we will announce it.
