Meet the Researcher: Stefano Gullà, Kling Biotherapeutics

Drug Discovery World

We have noted that cancer patients can develop powerful anti-tumour immune responses that can result in complete cure of the disease and we call these patients ‘elite responders’. By understanding what triggers the adaptive immune response in “elite responders” we have identified new targets and therapeutic antibodies.
