Magnets & medicine: Engineering cells to target cancer
Cancer 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.
In 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.
This webinar is perfect for anyone interested in health and cancer research, or wanting to learn more about it – no science background needed.
