Driven by a deep commitment to showcasing leading scientific innovation, this season of the “Unveil the Future” podcast features six compelling conversations with visionary minds shaping our future. These discussions delve into the transformative technologies redefining our world.
As we reach the midpoint of this series, we are honored to welcome back Professor Carl June from the University of Pennsylvania (USA), the distinguished 2024 VinFuture Special Prize Laureate for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields, and a preeminent figure in the field of immunotherapy.
Building upon the foundational work of Professor Zelig Eshhar, and in collaboration with Professor Michel Sadelain and other esteemed scientists, Professor June has been pivotal in developing a new generation of engineered T cells. This groundbreaking work has led to highly effective cellular immunotherapies for various cancers, particularly leukemias and lymphomas. His significant contributions have not only revolutionized cancer treatment but are also paving the way for innovative therapies in other critical medical domains, including HIV.
In this podcast, we will explore the latest advancements in Professor June’s research and discuss the future prospects of CAR T cell therapy within medical technology.
