Sara Donnelly, Director of Research Planning and Business Development at PhoenixBio USA explores why the right pre-clinical model is essential for teams wanting to advance adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapies. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapies hold exceptional promise across a range of disease areas.

He is being recognised for his revolutionary contributions to developing the first gene-edited cell-based therapy for cancer that involves the genetic re-engineering of a patient’s own T cells to combat their disease, and for demonstrating that adoptive T-cell therapy can induce remission and in some cases cure patients with advanced cancer.

By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The team found that deleting the gene Ptpn2 made tumors sensitive to PD-1 therapy, and they published their findings in Nature in 2017.

I think the cell-therapy field has evolved a lot – and is continuing to do so – in the time I’ve been working with this. Regarding the NY-ESO programme that we worked on, I started work on that in 2002 before we even knew that we were going to do cell therapy.

In response to the precipitous rise in incidence, governments on both sides of the Pacific began a systematized search for antimalarial treatments. Over the course of 12 years, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) screened more than 250,000 compounds in search of an efficacious treatment.

I went on from studying transgenic mice expressing Latent Membrane Protein 1 of Epstein Barr Virus using proteomics, molecular biology and biochemistry techniques to delineating the contribution of LMP1 to viral induced carcinogenesis. I loved being a part of something unique, exciting and closer to patients.
