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.
