Here are my removed & genetically modified white blood cells, about to be put back in to hopefully cure my cancer! This is t-cell immunotherapy!

I work at a research hospital and the stuff being done in the field of human cellular therapy is amazing. Congratulations, and I hope you kick cancer's ass!

I worked on a project to create 3D structures to go inside those bags over a decade ago. The idea was to give more surface area for the cells to grow. They didn’t work (a flat surface out performed any synthetic anatomical structure we created) but I’m glad the technology has got to a point where you can legally pull cells from the body, modify, propagate and reintroduce them. We had this legal hurdle where you could not ever expose the cells to any open environment, every step had to be fully closed loop. I’d love to see the gear for this process!
