What can the immune system do against breast cancer - Afternoon in The Science Basement

​The Science Basement would like to invite you to listen and interact during an Afternoon in the Science Basement. The next speaker of the monthly Fall series, Rita Turpin, from the University of Helsinki will present their work, ‘What can the immune system do against breast cancer?’
According to 2020 estimates, breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. Many cutting-edge strategies for treating breast cancers involve using the body’s natural immune system as part of the process. This presentation will include a brief overview of how the immune system can be a part of breast cancer treatment, how research is conducted to identify new treatment protocols, and a Q&A session with an immunoncology researcher.

P.S. Any PhD student from University of Helsinki or Aalto can give a talk (any topic), contact the email above to find out more 😉
