Who Should Attend
This activity is intended for NCI scientists, clinicians and fellows.
CME Activity Code: 58002
Objectives
After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
- Describe recent developments in the field of systems immunology, as applied for the development of novel cancer immunotherapies.
- Describe how novel automatized and robot-based experiments based on ex vivo immune responses present a quantitative challenge to immunologists.
- Describe how to leverage tools from machine learning and theoretical physics to learn better models of the immune response towards optimizing immunotherapies in clinical practice.
- Employ a multidisciplinary, cooperative, and iterative approach to the exchange of medical education across the breadth of Johns Hopkins Medicine and affiliate practitioners and educators.
- Improve the safety and quality of patient care by analyzing systems-based and practice-based processes.
- Translate recent research, new techniques, guidelines, etc. to clinical practice, based on the methodological quality of their design, validity, and applicability to patient care.
- Foster communication among healthcare stakeholders by exploring and integrating patient-centered, team-based strategies, when appropriate.
