亚瑟和桑德拉·欧文癌症免疫学研讨会是为成熟的癌症免疫学家创建的一个平台，以指导学员和年轻研究人员在该领域开展他们的研究生涯。通过分享不同的成功之路，高级教师导师为支持癌症免疫学界下一代领导者的发展提供了宝贵的资源。本评论描述了 2022 年研讨会期间讨论的一些关键主题：科学和职业轨迹、领导力、指导、合作和出版。对于每个主题，资深研究人员都讨论了促进这些领域成功的要素以及可能阻碍进展的错误。在此，我们概述了这些讨论中提出的建立成功的独立研究生涯的关键点。这些观点与更广泛的科学界高度相关。©2023 作者；由美国癌症研究协会出版。

The Arthur and Sandra Irving Cancer Immunology Symposium has been created as a platform for established cancer immunologists to mentor trainees and young investigators as they launch their research career in the field. By sharing their different paths to success, the senior faculty mentors provide an invaluable resource to support the development of the next generation of leaders in the cancer immunology community. This Commentary describes some of the key topics that were discussed during the 2022 symposium: scientific and career trajectory, leadership, mentoring, collaborations, and publishing. For each of these topics, established investigators discussed the elements that facilitate success in these areas as well as mistakes that can hinder progress. Herein, we outline the critical points raised in these discussions for establishing a successful independent research career. These points are highly relevant for the broader scientific community.©2023 The Authors; Published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
