Cell-Based Therapy

To improve the immune system's capacity to combat cancer, cellular treatments are used. In order to create them, a patient must first remove a chosen group of blood cells, change the cells to provide a more ferocious attack on the cancer cells, and then reintroduce the modified cells into the patient.

In order to treat illnesses and fight disease, cell-based therapy includes altering the patient's own cells or donor cells. We have recently contributed to the development of chimeric antigen receptor therapy, a revolutionary cell-based strategy for the treatment of blood malignancies. We continue to look into a growing variety of cell types for potential new therapeutic applications.
