ETOS 2025

The Essen Translational Oncology Symposium (ETOS) is an event of the DKTK partner site Essen/Düsseldorf to present scientific preclinical translational and reverse translational projects  from master students up to full professors. 

Multiple talks will be presented that each have the opportunity to win the ETOS Trophy (the legendary "Wanderpokal"). 
Last year's winner Celia Dobersalske will be moderating the first opening talk with the last year's poster session winner of 2024, Julia Zummack, with her poster "Deciphering mitochondria plasticity and functionality in PDAC metastasis and therapy response”.
 
With over 190 participants ETOS 2025 provides the opportunity to talk to the community, find potential collaborators and to gain insights into the excellent research around Essen and Düsseldorf during the prolonged breaks.

The symposium will feature  2 keynote, 2 research highlights, 14 talks and 90 posters focusing on phenotypic plasticity of cancer cells, technology-driven approaches, early drug development, data science & computational biology and immunoregulatory tumor microenvironment.
