ReMission Summit 2023
ReMission Summit is a workshop for leading brain tumor researchers and clinicians, industry innovators, and government neuro-oncology experts. Sponsored by University of Florida Trustee Anita Zucker and Orlando Businessman, Harris Rosen, and organized by leading neuro-oncology researcher Duane A. Mitchell, MD, PhD, this summit joins forces across disciplines, institutions, and the usual borders that all too often stymie effective research. The ReMission Summit will focus on the latest advances in targeted immunotherapy approaches for the treatment of adult and pediatric brain tumors and outline the unanswered questions, challenges, and opportunities that lay ahead for advancing the duration and quality of life for patients with brain tumors.
