Congratulations to the team at @PeterMacCC on this exciting research milestone. Proud to see WEHI's Professor Edwin Hawkins among the collaborators helping advance the future of CAR T-cell therapies for cancer. 👏👏
A “precision guided” CAR T-cell therapy designed at Peter Mac to kill solid tumours will progress to a first-in-human clinical trial thanks to almost $18 million from @ausgov.

The findings are a collaboration between Francis Crick Institute and University College London, co-led by Dr Clare Weeden who is now a WEHI laboratory head.
