Design of novel synthetic immune receptors

When cancer grows, tumors create a microenvironment around them, the TME or tumor microenvironment. This acts as a force field around cancer cells that blunts the immune system and allows cancer to escape its surveillance.
At Modulari-T we have developed a way to program the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells which we call MARC cells. This project proposes to develop a new way to augment MARC cells to make them more active in the TME so that they can break through the barriers and destroy the tumor.
