- Symposium Paris Kids Cancer 2025
On June 5 and 6, 2025, Paris Kids Cancer (PKC), the Île-de-France integrated research center of excellence in pediatric oncology, co-directed by AP-HP, Gustave Roussy and Institut Curie and granted by the Institut National du Cancer (French National Cancer Institute), is organizing its first international symposium on the development of the immune system during embryogenesis and childhood, its dysregulation and lessons for pediatric cancers.
It is essential to gain knowledge of the specific features of the development of the immune system in children to design tomorrow's therapeutic strategies and to better fight childhood pathologies such as cancers and hematologic malignancies.
Institut Imagine in Paris will hold this in-person meeting that will bring together experts in immunology and pediatric oncology, as well as computational biology scientists, aiming to understand and control these complex interactions.
