From March to October 2025, Professor Coulie will be a visiting professor at our faculty. This lecture is the inaugural class of the Collen-Francqui Chair.
Cancer vaccines and cancer immunotherapy are the themes of the lecture series. The lectures will be bundled into sessions dealing with
- the potential of tumour antigens in cancer immunotherapy
- the causes of the occasional failure of immunotherapy in cancer treatment
- cell therapy for cancer treatment.
A symposium on cancer vaccines will follow in autumn 2025.
