Gestärkte Immunzellen für den Kampf gegen Krebs
Welcome to the Hudecek Lab – The home of CAR T
Our research
We are developing novel personalized immune-based cancer treatments that involve reprogramming of the patient’s own immune system cells which are then used to target and destroy cancer cells.
Our approach
We are equipping T cells (white blood cells) with a biosensor (chimeric antigen receptor, CAR) to help them detect and eliminate cancer cells.
