Next generation of cell based therapies for cancer
Khalid Shah
Harvard Medical School, USA
Cell-based therapies are emerging as a promising strategy
to tackle cancer. Multiple cell types (T cells, stem cells and
cancer cells) have been shown to exhibit inherent tropism
towards tumors. Moreover, when engineered to enhance
their homing capability and to release therapeutic agents,
these cells effectively target sites of malignancy. This keynote
considers the current status of cell-based treatments for
cancer and provides a rationale for translating the most
promising preclinical studies into the clinic
