High Throughput Tool Development for Accelerated CAR Engineering

We are using a gene editing and multiparametric single-cell analysis platform to accelerate the discovery of CARs with novel functions
GIGIE001_Eyquem-Research-Feature-topic4

Recent studies have determined that not all CARs are created equal in terms of effector function, persistence, and antigen sensitivity. Our laboratory has developed powerful T cell editing tools which allow for high throughput screening of CAR constructs, as well as discovery of new CAR architectures with augmented effector functions, persistence and sensitivity to antigen density.
