In this week’s Executive Interview, we speak with  Mark Cobbold, vice president discovery and head of Cell Therapy, Oncology R&D, at AstraZeneca, and  Carsten Linnemann, chief executive officer of Neogene Therapeutics, part of AstraZeneca.

This article has been commissioned and funded by AstraZeneca.

Since the approval of the first CAR-T in 2017, T cell therapies have revolutionized the treatment of some blood cancers, and are one of the few cancer treatments to drive cures. Over recent years there has been huge investment and growth in cell therapies, but success beyond blood cancers has so far been limited.

AstraZeneca is on a mission to change this and is steadily building their expertise and capabilities with the aim of bringing the transformative potential of T cell therapies to more patients living with cancer.
