Q&A with Mark Garner: The golden age of cancer research  

Drug Discovery World

MG: I am responsible for Agilent’s cancer segment. For example, in CAR-T-cell therapy, scientists can take T-cells from a patient and ex vivo (outside the body) genetically engineer them to effectively target and kill cancerous cells, then infuse them back in to the patient. Mark Garner, PhD.,

Kiromic Announces the Filing of Key European Patents for Its Chimeric PD-1 (chPD1) Target

The Pharma Data

Kiromic chPD1 has shown in preclinical data to show a cytotoxic response in 9 different in vivo models with 100% long-term PFS with the induction of host memory responses. Chimeric PD-1 T-cells also release cytokines to further initiate immune responses to eradicate the tumor cells.
