Acclaimed Cancer Researcher Receives Grant to Present Scholarly Paper at International Conference

Acclaimed Cancer Researcher Receives Grant to Present Scholarly Paper at International Conference
Posted By: Reginald Claremont on May 13, 2016


An acclaimed ASU professor who is a nationally recognized cancer researcher has been awarded a grant to attend one of the world’s most important events in the field of immunology to present a scholarly paper, which will help advance cancer research.

Dr. Manoj Mishra, associate professor of biology and director of the ASU Cancer Biology Research and Training Program, has been awarded a grant by the American Association of Immunologists (AAI) to attend the International Congress of Immunology (ICI) in August, which will be held in Melbourne, Australia. Mishra will present a scholarly research abstract on a cancer related research topic during the event.

Mishra said being able to attend and give a presentation at the ICI will continue to help put ASU on the global map in the area of cancer research.



“This is a great opportunity to showcase cancer research done at ASU and present it to a global audience,” Mishra said.

The ICI will provide an environment for researchers to share new findings, report clinical advances, explore new career opportunities and establish collaborations. It also will provide a venue to host public lectures and engage with the media to report new scientific advances.

About The ICI

The International Congress of Immunology (ICI) is the largest and most important global event in the field of immunology. It is held every three years under the auspices of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Kobe (Japan) and Milan (Italy) hosted the three previous events, each with an attendance of more than 5,000 delegates.
