FOCIS Goes North: Iceland Cancer Immunology Conference

20. ágúst - 21. ágúst 2026

University of Iceland

Join us in the dramatic landscapes of Iceland for a groundbreaking symposium dedicated to understanding the intricate interaction of the immune system with the tumor and how it is shaping the next phase of anti-cancer therapies. As the field moves beyond isolated targets to a systems-biology approach, this conference brings together global thought leaders to explore the complex interplay between the host, the tumor, and the environment.

Over two days, attendees will participate in deep-dive sessions covering four critical pillars of modern oncology:

  • Microbes and Immune Function:

    analyzing how the microbiome and external factors shape tumor initiation, progression and response to therapy.

  • The Immune Battlefield:

    advancing our understanding of immune function and the next generation of immunotherapies

  • The Blueprint of Disease:

    deciphering the genetics and epigenetics driving cancer evolution.

  • The Metabolic Engine:

    mapping the tumor microenvironment and metabolic pathways to identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Experience cutting-edge science in one of the world’s most inspiring natural environments.
