Imagine a world without disease. Let's join forces to accelerate the development of advanced medicines and ensure access to cures for all patients, everywhere.
A first in human study of anti-HIV CAR-T started yesterday with the first participant/partner infused yesterday at UC Davis (NCT04648046) PIs: Drs S Deeks

Timothy Ray Brown said he does not want to be the only one. This trial at UC-Davis is a challenge/ lots of time & tests are asked of the participant. We can’t learn if CAR-T could be a path to durable cure without you. It’s a first in human trial: and a new approach.
We just posted a new video presenting the mechanism of action of our anti-HIV CAR-T cell, intended for all audiences!
