EUROSON SCHOOL: Copenhagen International Sonoporation Symposium (COINSOS 2026) – Focus on Ultrasound-Mediated Immuno-Oncology (UMIO 2026)
Title:
Copenhagen International Sonoporation Symposium (COINSOS 2026)
Focus on Ultrasound-Mediated Immuno-Oncology (UMIO 2026)
Dates:
19–20 June 2026
Venue:
Admiral Hotel, Copenhagen, Denmark
Host institutions:
Zealand University Hospital & University of Copenhagen
Course type:
International scientific symposium / advanced ultrasound teaching course
Target audience:
Researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals with prior experience in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), oncology, surgery, and immunotherapy.
Target education level:
Advanced (EFSUMB Level 3)
Course rationale and aims
Ultrasound is increasingly recognised not only as a diagnostic modality but as an enabling technology for therapeutic innovation. Through controlled cavitation of contrast microbubbles, ultrasound-mediated sonoporation can modulate vascular permeability, enhance drug delivery, and promote immune activation within the tumour microenvironment.
COINSOS 2026 aims to provide advanced education on ultrasound-mediated sonoporation and its integration with immuno-oncologic strategies. The symposium bridges microbubble physics, translational biology, and early-phase clinical trials, with a strong focus on contrast-enhanced ultrasound as a tool for image-guided therapeutic modulation.
Learning objectives
After completing the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand advanced mechanisms of ultrasound-mediated sonoporation and immune activation
- Evaluate microbubble engineering strategies for targeted drug and immune delivery
- Interpret translational and clinical trial data within therapeutic CEUS and sonoporation
- Discuss integration of sonoporation with modern immunotherapies in oncology
- Identify future directions for clinical implementation and collaborative research
Faculty
The faculty consists of internationally recognised experts in CEUS, sonoporation, oncology, immunotherapy, and translational ultrasound research. A full faculty list with affiliations is included in the submitted material.
