SUMMARY:Biology/Medicine: Leukaemia - Understanding Blood Cancers & The Role of CAR-T Cell Therapy With Dr Sophie Kellaway From University of Nottingham
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \nIn this Biology/Medicine session\, Dr Sophie Kellaway\, Assistant Professor on the Cancer Sciences BSc at University of Nottingham\, will run an interactive talk for students on Leukaemia – Understanding Blood Cancers & The Role of CAR-T Cell Therapy. \nIn this session we will explore how CAR-T cell therapy is saving lives and changing the way doctors treat blood cancer. We will find out why certain types of blood cancers called acute leukaemias are so difficult to treat and how T-cells engineered with “chimeric antigen receptors” i.e. CAR-T cells are helping improve patient outcomes. \nTogether\, we will work through an example of how scientists designed and engineered a CAR-T cell to treat a teenager with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) that did not respond to chemotherapy. \nWe will wrap up by looking at some of the current challenges associated with CAR-T cell therapy for the next generation of researchers to solve. \n  \nLecturer Profile: Dr Sophie Kellaway \n  \n\n  \nOur events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals\, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part. \nAs a live\, participative event\, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event\, where available. \n  \nSuitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students studying\, or with a possible interest in studying\, Biology\, Medicine and related disciplines. Student groups as well as students and teachers joining individually are very welcome. \nPreparation/Pre-Reading: Students may wish to consider the topic in advance and questions they have. Students can also think about questions about studying at university level. \nThe IT Setup: The event will be run on Zoom and participants will be able to join using laptops\, tablets\, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group\, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the speaker via typed comments and questions and/or via a microphone.
