​​​CAR-T Cell Therapy: Prospects of Design and Application​​

​​​​​​Get Familiarized with the ​Basics of CAR-T Immunotherapy

Pre-Conference Workshop
​

Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapies mark a significant breakthrough in treating a wide range of diseases including blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. This approach involves harvesting T-cells from ​varied sources, followed by genetic modification to produce CAR-T for their specific immunotherapies.   ​

Join us for an all-day, hands-on work​shop dedicated to the practical, high-fidelity process of CAR-T cell production and analysis!

This workshop is designed to give participants a basic understanding of the complex, step-by-step workflow needed for reproducible, potentially clinical-grade cell engineering.
