摘要
2024 年 10 月 27 日至 30 日,第 16 届国际溶瘤病毒疗法大会(IOVC)在荷兰鹿特丹举行,这座城市反映了溶瘤病毒领域研究人员的坚韧、信念和创新精神。鹿特丹因战后重建而闻名,其前沿建筑设计着眼于光明的未来,恰如其分地反映了溶瘤病毒疗法正处于发展的转折点。本次会议在德多伦国际会议中心(International Congress Center De Doelen)举行,临床医生、科学家和生物技术领袖齐聚一堂,展示了最新的临床应用、新型病毒平台、靶向机制和免疫调节策略,这些都将推动癌症免疫疗法进入下一个时代。我们在此概述这次引人入胜的会议,并就梦想和继续建设的方向提出自己的观点。
The 16th Annual International Oncolytic Virotherapy Conference (IOVC) in Rotterdam: For the dreamers and doers of oncolytic virotherapy.
From October 27-30 2024, the 16th International Oncolytic Virotherapy Conference (IOVC) was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a city that mirrors the spirit of resilience, conviction, and innovation of researchers in the field of oncolytic viruses. Rotterdam, renowned for its post-war rebuilding with cutting-edge architecture designed for a bright future in mind, provided a fitting reflection that oncolytic virotherapy is at a turning point in its evolution. Hosted at the International Congress Center De Doelen, the event gathered clinicians, scientists, and biotech leaders to showcase the most up-to-date clinical applications, novel viral platforms, targeted mechanisms, and immune-modulating strategies that will push the boundaries of cancer immunotherapy into the next era. We present here an overview of this engaging meeting and offer our own perspectives on where to dream and continue to build.
