Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation

MD Anderson clinicians and researchers have been instrumental in shaping the field of cell therapies, leading pivotal clinical trials for approved therapies and engineering groundbreaking new investigational treatments. Building upon that expertise, the Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation will lead the world in developing and advancing impactful cell therapies for patients in need, accelerating the translation of science for cures.

It is critical to expand the repertoire of cell therapy for solid tumors, and to enhance the effectiveness of cell therapies by employing advanced genetic and bioinformatic approaches. These therapies will be designed as off-the-shelf treatment options, limiting the need for lengthy hospital stays and reducing associated costs. The institute will speed the pace of cell therapy development in ways only possible here.
