Immunotherapy

Pink abstract image representing a tissue sample

Immunotherapy research leads the global shift toward customizable medicine by designing molecular-level interventions that precisely program the human immune system to eradicate disease. By innovating at the interface of materials science and immunology, our engineers are developing vaccines, engineered T-cells, and adaptive biomaterials that can potently destroy malignant tumors or selectively shut down autoimmune destruction.
