CAR T have many applications beyond direct tumor targeting. Here, we engineer T-cells to prevent acute GvHD after alloHSCT. We show targeted ablation of OX40+ T-cells reversed fatal xeno-GvHD and could be combined with a CAR to prevent leukemia relapse 1/

Back in 2018, we were working to move our CD7 CARTs (CRISPR-edited for CD7 to avoid fratricide) to a Phase I but the regulatory hurdles for gene-edited CARTs were too high for a small academic group. That got us thinking, do we need gene editing at all? 1/

Excited to share that I finally passed defense! I feel truly honored to have such wonderful mentors and am grateful to everyone who supported me along this journey. I will start working as a postdoc in the Stanger lab at UPenn next month - looking forward to the next adventure!
Huge congratulations to @feiyan_mo for receiving the Excellence in Research Award from @ASGCTherapy for a top-scoring abstract on targeting OX40+ T-cells for the therapy of aGvHD. She will present her work tomorrow #ASGCT2022#proudPImoment
👩🔬🔬In this exciting new study including in #EBMT22 Presidential Symposium, @feiyan_mo explains how her team looked to harness the potency of engineered T-cells and redirect them against pathogenic T-cells that mediate #GvHD. More here ⬇️

Really honored that our work made it to the Presidential Symposium at #EBMT2022 Special thanks to my wonderful mentors and collaborators. @MaxMamonkin@CAGTHouston
Excited to present at the #BMTWorkshop our ongoing work with @feiyan_mo on engineering T-cells for the therapy of aGvHD. Great format, excellent speakers and helpful feedback from top GvHD experts. Loved it! https://t.co/svpV9ahNpR
Excellent podcast by Michele Sadelain and Irene Jarchum discussing off-the-shelf CAR T-cells. Pros and cons of various strategies to prevent host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host activities, including our recent work on 4-1BB specific anti-rejection receptor. Very humbling!
