MD Anderson clinicians and researchers have been instrumental in shaping the field of cell therapies, leading pivotal clinical trials for approved therapies and engineering groundbreaking new investigational treatments. Building upon that expertise, the Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation will lead the world in developing and advancing impactful cell therapies for patients in need, accelerating the translation of science for cures.
It is critical to expand the repertoire of cell therapy for solid tumors, and to enhance the effectiveness of cell therapies by employing advanced genetic and bioinformatic approaches. These therapies will be designed as off-the-shelf treatment options, limiting the need for lengthy hospital stays and reducing associated costs. The institute will speed the pace of cell therapy development in ways only possible here.
Advancing impactful cell therapies for patients in need
We are in a pivotal moment in the field of cell therapy. Advances in technologies, the promise of artificial intelligence and our deeper understanding of immunology are giving us the tools to make transformative changes into the lives of our patients.

What is the future of cell therapy in cancer treatment?
Cell therapies, often described as ¡®living therapies,¡¯ are a form of immunotherapy created using immune cells from a patient or healthy donor. With specialized engineering and manufacturing, we can improve the ability of these cells to detect and eliminate diseased or abnormal cells, such as cancer cells.
