Indigenous CAR-T cell therapy in India:
What is CAR-T cell therapy?
CAR-T cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy that involves genetically engineering a patient's T cells to attack cancer cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection. In CAR-T cell therapy, T cells are taken from the patient, modified in the laboratory to express a special protein called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), and then reinfused into the patient. The CAR protein helps the T cells recognize and attack cancer cells.
Indigenous CAR-T cell therapy in India
India has made significant progress in developing its own indigenous CAR-T cell therapy. In October 2023, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), India's drug regulator, approved the commercial use of NexCAR19, the first indigenously developed CAR-T cell therapy. NexCAR19 is developed by ImmunoACT, a company incubated at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) and Tata Memorial Hospital. It is designed to treat B-cell cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.

Yet nobody talk about it enough.
Sad to observe the working conditions for new hires. Despite the fact they're performing well, getting fired without any prior notice.
I'm so grateful that I have a job.
