    Call for Abstracts and Pitch Proposals 

    **Deadline extended: Upload submission documents during online registration by Friday, January 4, 2019.

    • Immune Analysis Technology Pitch Competition - ​In early 2019, the Winship Center for Cancer Immunotherapy will roll out Mass Cytometry and Multiplex IHC platforms to investigators to obtain data using state-of-the-art instruments. The retreat is soliciting from investigators a brief paragraph describing a “sales pitch” for use of either of these instruments. From those ideas submitted, up to 4 potential projects will be ‘pitched’ in a 5-minute presentation to compete for pilot funding (one award each at 25K and 15K). The funding will be issued to investigators in the form of credit for instrument usage and/or purchase of reagents needed for utilization of these instruments. Please review the guidelines then upload your 1-page proposal during online registration.
    • Poster Session - Students, trainees, and junior faculty are invited to submit abstracts related to cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Upload your 250-word abstract during online registration.
