Synthetic immunology

Exploring the fundamental workings of the immune system and engineering new cell behaviors and capabilities has enormous implications for treating diseases and advancing our understanding of human health! We talked about:

How are genome editing and gene therapy technologies being used in synthetic immunology? What are the most promising applications in medicine and healthcare? What are the current challenges facing the field? Who are the main actors in academia and industry working on developing solutions?

These and more questions were answered by our speaker, Dr. Alex Marson, a renowned physician and researcher in the field of synthetic immunology at UCSF, and the co-founder of Arsenal Bio and Spotlight Therapeutics.

His unparalleled research has focused on the development of cutting-edge CRISPR gene editing technologies to reprogram human immune cells. His discoveries have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of diseases through the development of "living" medicines!
