Webinar – CAR T cells live and up-close: Metabolic engineering for enhanced function

Nanolive hosted this event on “CAR T cells live and up-close: Metabolic engineering for enhanced function.“

In this webinar, presented by Dr Roddy O’Connor, Research Assistant Professor at University of Pennsylvania’s renowned Center for Cellular Immunotherapies and expert in CAR T activity and metabolism, he examines how CAR T cell killing can be optimized through metabolic engineering.

Using Nanolive’s unique imaging and analysis platform, Dr O’Connor investigates how CAR T cells fuel their cytotoxic activity and interact with target cancer cells, using AI-powered analysis to quantify label-free live cell imaging data. Additionally, he investigates the behavior of CAR T cells at the single cell level, exploring high-resolution live captures of serial killing, co-operative killing, and exhaustion.

Watch to discover:

How many tumor cells can a single CAR T cell can kill in 7 hours?
How fast do CAR T cells move?
Can CAR T killing be boosted by a change of fuel?
Does T cell-target interaction guarantee successful killing?

This webinar lasts around 40 minutes.
