Anderson Cancer CenterNov 8 2024 The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today announced the launch of its Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation, which will build upon longstanding MD Anderson clinical and research expertise to lead the world in developing and advancing impactful cell therapies for patients in need.
Katy Rezvani, M.D., Ph.D., vice president & head of the Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation Building on a robust research platform and previous discoveries As leaders in cell therapy, MD Anderson researchers have an extensive history of cell therapy research and development in the preclinical and clinical setting. To date, the Food and Drug Administration has approved six chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy products targeting CD19 and BCMA for B-cell lymphomas, leukemias and multiple myeloma, with several approvals based on clinical trials led by MD Anderson researchers.
While cancer is a core focus of the institute, MD Anderson researchers' extensive knowledge of cell biology and engineering also provides possibilities to develop cell therapies in autoimmune diseases and infections. Abnormal B cells can cause multiple autoimmune diseases, including Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, and cell therapies could improve upon current steroid and immunosuppressive treatments.
