In the cell therapy lab at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center— Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, scientists are able to manufacture a “living drug” to treat advanced cancer by isolating immune cells from a patient’s tumor, expanding them to billions of T cells and other immune cells that can be infused back to the patient.
