ONCS is attending but I don't think they are presenting.

Unrelated to ONCS but a topic of interest...

Reshaping the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment:
The Fusion Protein Strategy
Yanzhang Wei, Ph.D., Professor, Biological Sciences, Clemson University
Advanced tumor cells often create immunosuppressive microenvironment.
The conversion of the environment from immunosuppressive to immunoactive
holds hopes for effective cancer immunotherapy. Fusion proteins coupled
with appropriate delivery approaches represent a promising strategy for this
conversion. In the last decade, we created various fusion cytokine proteins
(GPI-anchored IL-2/IL-12, MULT1E/FasTI, MULT1E/IL-12, IL-12/FasTI) and
demonstrated their anticancer activities. We are in the process of developing
effective methods to deliver the fusion proteins specifically into tumors.
