SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION
The Usha Mahajani Symposium is held in early September each year, and is generally attended by 250-300 scientists in academia and industry throughout southern California and beyond. The symposium also serves as a great opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with national and international experts in a particular field of biomedical research related to cancer.

This year's topic is Advances in Cellular Therapies against Cancer and will cover advances in CAR-T cells as well as the development of alternative cell-based strategies such as use of engineered natural killer cells and macrophages to better target tumors. The symposium will also cover emerging technologies in cell and protein engineering for cancer therapeutics.
