    Engineering the body’s own cells into living medicines is a revolutionary new approach to advance patient care in many areas. From cancers and blood disorders to neurodegenerative conditions, autoimmune diseases, and organ transplant recovery, cell therapies are raising the possibility of long-term remission and even cures. There are now nearly 2,000 cell and gene therapy clinical trials underway globally. Our panel will explore how Columbia’s scientists are leading this effort, including by expanding the reach of CAR-T cell therapy, a powerful tool that has already transformed outcomes for certain cancers.
