Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Edouard Stanley (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Stuart Mannering ,  Prof Andrew Elefanty

Brief description Lymphocytes are white blood cells that are involved in producing antibodies, killing defective cells, or killing cells infected with viruses. In recent years, researchers have found ways to harness lymphocytes to develop medicines for treating a variety of different cancers. In this project, we will establish methods to make human lymphocytes in the laboratory from stem cells, paving the way for the broader application of this cell type to new therapies.
