CAR T Pioneer Renier Brentjens Develops Next-Gen Cell Therapies for Solid Tumors

Renier Brentjens, one of the early researchers behind CAR T cell therapy, is now developing a new generation of engineered 'living drug' treatments. His current work aims to extend the success these therapies have had against blood cancers to solid tumors, which have proven far harder to treat with cell-based approaches.

Experimental CAR T Immunotherapy Clears Cancer in 3-Year-Old Boy

Researchers report that a young boy's cancer went into remission after receiving an experimental form of CAR T cell therapy. The treatment is part of ongoing efforts to adapt CAR T technology, previously effective mainly against blood cancers, to target solid tumors.
