Upcoming Seminar
On the Shoulders of Giants: A New Paradigm of Cancer Gene Therapy
Chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology/BMT Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus, OH
February 28, 2023 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Dr. Cripe will review advances in cancer immunotherapies highlighting bispecific diabodies and antibodies and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. He will also briefly review the field of AAV gene therapy for congenital genetic disorders, and then describe how the challenges of cancer immunotherapies can be addressed using AAV gene therapy technologies to achieve off-the-shelf therapies providing long-term therapeutic effects. In addition, he will describe his work to apply these technologies to target circulating tumor cells to prevent the development of metastases from solid tumors.
