Cell Therapy: The New Frontier in the Fight Against Cancer

What if we could program our own immune system to fight cancer? For decades, cancer treatment relied on chemotherapy designed to kill rapidly dividing cells. While effective, these treatments often harm healthy tissue along the way.

Today, a new era of cancer therapy is emerging! Scientists are discovering how to harness the body’s own immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells with remarkable precision.

Join us for an insightful lecture by Dr. Roberto Sessa, PhD in Cancer Biology, as he explores the shift from traditional chemotherapy to modern immunotherapies and engineered cell-based treatments. Discover how researchers are moving beyond simply poisoning tumors and toward programming the immune system itself to identify and destroy cancer, paving the way for a new generation of highly targeted treatments.
