• The Centre for Cancer Immunotherapy [CCI] is at the forefront of exploring new avenues for novel immune- based cancer treatments, as well as predicting and improving the effectiveness of existing immunotherapies.
• Our findings have opened up new avenues for bench-to-bedside translation and have contributed toward the development of novel DC based immunotherapeutic approach for better cancer treatment and management. CCI has the first state-of-art platform Clean Room 1000 particle free [ISO-6] in India for cancer immunotherapy.
• CCI is focused on development of new technologies for personalized treatments modalities that are safe and affordable in cancer management through the use of dendritic cell-based immunotherapies for recurrent/metastatic inoperable oral cavity cancer, recurrent/metastatic TNBC patients and metastatic Gall bladder cancer DC based vaccines will be used as personalized intervention by modulating their immune response.
• Our goal is to accelerate and synergize efforts to quickly translate fundamentals from basic cancer research into the clinics for effective treatment of cancer patients. Also, CCI is in continuous process to develop and standardize methodologies for measuring the immune response to these investigational immunotherapies and establishing new tumor markers for clinical response.
• CCI is engaged in Translational Medicine that aims to improve the health of cancer patients. Seeing the urgency CCI is already working on Biomarkers & Diagnostics that are the key-component to diagnose a cancer in various malignancies at different stages. Large scale validation of tumor associated antigen namely SPAG9 in Breast, ovarian, cervical, bladder and renal cell cancers is going on as depicted in IHC figure (C). This will eventually help us to monitor cancer patients during various treatment modalities, and to measure patient response to therapeutic modalities.
