What was your biggest professional highlight of the past 12 months? My biggest professional highlight has been opening the AERIAL phase 1/2 basket trial of LEU011, our autologous CAR T-cell therapy for patients with NKG2D ligand-expressing solid tumors. Moving a program from scientific concept through the translational, regulatory, manufacturing, and clinical steps needed to open a trial is a major milestone and reflects the work of a large multidisciplinary team.

Abstract The tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) is increasingly recognized as a key driver of immune suppression and therapy resistance in cancer. However, the specific ECM components and mechanisms that create this immunosuppressive environment remain poorly understood, hindering the development of new therapies.
