Tiny comments on CV2000 :

1) This conference is regarded as a best meeting in a field of tumor immunology.
2) The Cancer Research Institute(sponser org.) was founded in 1953 to foster the science of cancer immunology, which is based on the premise that the body's immune system can be mobilized against cancer. This field, which CRI helped pioneer and develop, has been recognized throughout the world as offering great hope for the ultimate prevention and treatment of human cancer.

For nearly five decades, the Institute has been a sustaining force in cancer and immunology research. The Institute has supported nearly 1000 scientists and clinicians at leading universities and research centers worldwide. All such funding decisions are made by its Scientific Advisory Council consisting of 64 of the world's leading immunologists, including five Nobel Prize winners and 18 members of the National Academy of Sciences.
3) I have attended this meeting 2 years(98-99) consecutively.
However, I never seen a Korean immunologist even though this field has been still rapidly progressing.

This year, I am gonna attend and grasp at newer trend and technologies.
I hope many immunobio-onclogists's unskewed attention.
