Postdoctoral Fellow - ACT Platform (cell therapy)

Mission: Our goal is to provide every cancer patient with an effective targeted cell therapy that eradicates malignancy with minimal toxicity.

Background: Cell therapy is expanding, with numerous cell products being developed by academic centers and the industry. The development of a cell therapy product is complex and requires the integration of multiple disciplines with a common purpose. We have proven our capacity for leadership in the field of cell therapy by developing novel therapies such as viral specific CTLs and a CAR-NK program. We are currently world leaders in the use of CAR-NK to treat cancer.
