T-cell-based Immunotheranostics for personalized Cancer Therapy
Standard cancer therapies including radio- and chemotherapy are often not sufficient to effectively defeat tumor diseases. Accordingly, personalized therapies are becoming more prominent in the field of modern cancer therapies. The overall aim of such strategies is to individually adapt treatment regimen to each patient in order to maximize therapy response and improve overall survival.
The tandem of Dr. Claudia Arndt (Scientist) and Dr. Frederick Fasslrinner (Clinician) is focusing on the development of personalized cellular immunotheranostics for the diagnosis and therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); a common hematological malignancy. By using our switchable UniCAR T-cell technology, we aim to combine cellular immunotherapy, local radioimmunotherapy and optical imaging as an individual treatment modality.
