One vision —
a cancer-free future.
Unlike surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, cell and gene therapies harness the power of your immune system to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. We fund the research that will make this vision a reality.
Advancing childhood cancer research
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Here's an overview of what ACGT is doing to advance pediatric cancer research.
Cancer survivor spotlight: Austin Schuetz
Austin Schuetz is a cancer survivor thanks to receiving CAR T-cell therapy for his leukemia.
ACGT Research Fellow spotlight: Hideho Okada
Hideho Okada was awarded a grant to develop a cell and gene therapy for a rare pediatric brain tumor.
