Research Poster: Hoxb8-derived anti-GPC3 CAR expressing macrophages as a preclinical model for HCC immunotherapies
My research project involved engineering macrophages from Hoxb8 progenitors to express a GPC3-specific CAR for targeting hepatocellular carcinoma. The cells retained macrophage identity and CAR expression, offering a scalable platform to develop macrophage-based immunotherapies for HCC.

Project outline: CAR-ATM to combat obesity
My project will investigate how chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy can be translated to use in adipose tissue macrophages to combat obesity. It will be carried out at the Blood Engineering Lab at the Centre for Translational Stem Cell Biology under the supervision of Dr Rio Sugimura.
