Advance Gene Engineering, Persistence, and Scalable Expansion of NK,
Gamma-Delta T, and NKT Cell Therapies to Develop Cost-Effective Allogeneic Treatments for Liquid and Solid Tumors
2020 has been a game-changing year for the NK cell community. Positive clinical results have forced the field to wake up to the potential of these pioneering approaches. However, this increased clinical understanding highlights the challenges in producing long-lasting, scalable products.
Supporting the field since its’ infancy, the Innate Killer Summit is returning for the 6th year as the leading, industry-defining forum dedicated to advancing the field to achieve clinical success.
Spanning the current drug development landscape, from improving CAR transduction in discovery through to cryopreservation in clinical manufacture, join the first and only comprehensive meeting to exclusively focus on the clinical and commercial development of innate cell therapies.
