2026 Midwest Tumor Microenvironment Conference

The Midwest Tumor Microenvironment was established as a dynamic approach for trainees and early-career investigators to acquire cutting edge and unpublished scientific knowledge, to advance their career, and to grow their scientific network and collaborations. The conference will bring together prominent interdisciplinary scientists conducting state-of-the-art research from across the Midwest region’s institutions.

The conference takes place over three days, May 18-20, 2026, with the first day starting midday and the last day ending at noon.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Submit an abstract and present their work during a poster session to get feedback from their scientific peers
• Attend specific sessions that highlight various topics related to the tumor microenvironment
• Hear from a prominent keynote speaker in the field
• Grow their scientific network and collaborations
• Acquire cutting edge and unpublished scientific knowledge

Information about the event schedule, speakers, abstracts, registration, lodging, and other details will be shared as they become available. We look forward to seeing you in 2026!
