Panel Discussion: Engineering Precision T-Cell Targeting Modalities for Safe Autoimmune Reset
3:00 pm
Join this session for a candid conversation around the future of T-cell depletion for immune reset:
- Debating the technical feasibility and current limitations of logic-gated CAR-T cells in autoimmunity
- Discussing the emerging paradigm of T-cell modulation vs elimination including the modalities most promising for safely silencing autoreactive T-cells without long-term safety risks
- Effectively measuring the resulting state of functional tolerance
- Exploring the combination of translational biomarkers and clinical trial endpoints necessary to validate the safety and disease specificity of targeted T-cell therapies
