Michael Polansky's company & UCLA renew alliance to advance cancer immunotherapy

[VTV 13,929]

UCLA and the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI) have renewed their alliance to advance research in cancer immunotherapy and accelerate the development of curative treatments for the most difficult-to-treat cancers. The collaboration is backed by a substantial new investment from PICI, which recently committed $125 million to expand research efforts across a collaborative consortium of immuno-oncology academic research institutions.

With early support from PICI, UCLA researchers launched a pioneering chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy trial that attacks cancer cells by simultaneously recognizing two targets – CD19 and CD20 – that are expressed on B-cell lymphoma and leukemia.

"We are on the cusp of a new era in cancer treatment, and it’s organizations like PICI that allow us to take bold steps forward," said Dr. Owen Witte(Link opens in new window), co-director of the PICI Center at UCLA and founding director emeritus of the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center. "Together, we are not just working toward the next breakthrough – we are building a foundation for the future of cancer care."

It is funny but what if the money he gets from writing credit goes to fund cancer research.

What an angel.
