Oncol­o­gy 2024

Advanc­ing Oncol­o­gy Research

Wel­come to the PORT for Health: Oncol­o­gy 2024 con­fer­ence, a forum ded­i­cat­ed to advanc­ing knowl­edge and inno­va­tion across three key areas of mod­ern oncol­o­gy: can­cer biol­o­gy, ther­a­peu­tic strate­gies, and can­cer neu­ro­science. Orga­nized by Łukasiewicz – PORT, the con­fer­ence is dri­ven by a com­mit­ment to fos­ter­ing the devel­op­ment of nov­el approach­es to the treat­ment of onco­log­i­cal diseases.

This event brings togeth­er researchers, clin­i­cians, and indus­try rep­re­sen­ta­tives to facil­i­tate mean­ing­ful col­lab­o­ra­tion, pro­mote the exchange of exper­tise, and stim­u­late the ini­ti­a­tion of impact­ful inter­dis­ci­pli­nary projects.

Build­ing a Stronger Oncol­o­gy Community

Par­tic­i­pants will ben­e­fit from more than 20 expert-led pre­sen­ta­tions show­cas­ing recent dis­cov­er­ies in the mol­e­c­u­lar and cel­lu­lar mech­a­nisms of can­cer, the rapid­ly evolv­ing field of pre­ci­sion med­i­cine, and the com­plex inter­ac­tions between can­cer and the ner­vous sys­tem.

By encour­ag­ing the shar­ing of knowl­edge, expe­ri­ence, and best prac­tices, PORT for Health: Oncol­o­gy 2024 aims to strength­en the glob­al oncol­o­gy research com­mu­ni­ty and con­tribute to a new wave of sci­en­tif­ic and tech­no­log­i­cal progress in the ongo­ing effort to com­bat cancer.

Advanc­ing Can­cer Research Through Innovation

The Center’s research port­fo­lio encom­pass­es a broad range of advanced top­ics, includ­ing trans­la­tion­al stud­ies employ­ing mol­e­c­u­lar and com­pu­ta­tion­al pathol­o­gy to elu­ci­date the tumor microen­vi­ron­ment, DNA dam­age repair path­ways, and can­cer-asso­ci­at­ed genome evo­lu­tion.

Addi­tion­al focus areas include the immuno­log­i­cal reg­u­la­tion of tumor pro­gres­sion medi­at­ed by innate-like immune cells, such as ILCs and γδ T lym­pho­cytes, as well as the neu­ro­genic con­trol of car­cino­gen­e­sis and relat­ed sen­so­ry phe­nom­e­na, par­tic­u­lar­ly pain and paresthesia.

Togeth­er, these research efforts seek to deep­en the under­stand­ing of can­cer devel­op­ment, enable the dis­cov­ery of diag­nos­tic and prog­nos­tic bio­mark­ers, and sup­port the devel­op­ment of next-gen­er­a­tion anti­cancer ther­a­peu­tics and immunother­a­py strategies.
