SUMMARY:Magnets & medicine: Engineering cells to target cancer
DESCRIPTION:Discover how cutting-edge science is unlocking the body’s power to heal itself and improving treatments for cancer patients.\n\n\nCancer treatments are evolving, and one exciting area is using a person’s own immune cells to help treat it. Scientists can now take these cells and engineer them in the lab using magnets and tiny iron beads. Immune cells can then better recognise cancer and activate on demand using a remote controlled mechanism.\nIn this webinar, you’ll learn how this technique works, how it helps the immune system target cancer more effectively, and why it’s a big step forward in medical research.\nThis webinar is perfect for anyone interested in health and cancer research, or wanting to learn more about it – no science background needed.\nDon’t miss this unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how research advances are paving the way for more effective treatments for cancer – register now!\nOur expert \nThis talk will be delivered Dr Abhinav Thareja, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham and member of the Next Generation Therapies research theme at the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre.\n\n\n\n
