Dr. Carl June has established himself as a cancer treatment pioneer with his groundbreaking CAR T cell therapy treatment for cancer. It’s been described as an ‘innovative immunotherapy treatment’ that modifies your T cells to seek and destroy cancer cells. CAR T has completely revolutionized cancer treatments, especially for patients who’ve lost hope with cancers previously thought to be incurable. The work has garnered June the 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, and he continues to lead the Center for Cellular Immunotherapies at Penn Medicine.
