Grant Activity:
Designing Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
Purpose:

Immunotherapy using genetically engineered killer T cells, redirected towards a patient’s tumour, has revolutionised the way we treat cancer. These treatments have been very effective with rapid translation into the clinic but have not been applied to paediatric diffuse pontine glioma (DIPG) where outcomes are the worst for any diagnosis of childhood. This research will help design better therapies for paediatric brain cancer patients.
