CAR T-cell therapy is a cancer treatment where a patient’s own T-cells are reprogrammed to fight the cancer. There are 2,000 therapies in clinical development around the world which use different ways to program the T-cells. BioOra has developed an automated manufacturing system to scale up the production of personalised T-cells for treatment of the cancer. In partnership with the Malaghan Institute BioOra has treated 30 patients, the last 7 using this automated system.
