Ludwig Cancer Research scientists have devised new types of chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells鈥攁 type of cancer immunotherapy鈥攖hat can be switched on to varying degrees of intensity and then switched off on demand with existing drugs.
Ludwig Cancer Research congratulates Ludwig Lausanne Director George Coukos on his election to the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM). Among the highest honors issued to clinicians and scientists, membership in the Academy recognizes exceptional achievement and commitment to service in the fields of health and medicine.
Ludwig Cancer Research scientists have developed a full, start-to-finish computational pipeline that integrates multiple molecular and genetic analyses of tumors and the specific molecular targets of T cells and harnesses artificial intelligence algorithms to use its output to design personalized cancer vaccines for patients.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome鈥攐ne that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered that recurrent tumors of the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) grow out of the fibrous scars of malignant predecessors destroyed by interventions such as radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a metabolic switch in the immune system鈥檚 T cells that is essential to the generation of memory T cells鈥攚hich confer lasting immunity to previously encountered pathogens鈥攁nd a T cell subtype found in tumors that drives anti-tumor responses during immunotherapy.
A novel immunotherapy approach developed by Ludwig Cancer Research scientists employs a two-pronged attack against solid tumors to boost the immune system鈥檚 ability to target and eliminate cancer cells.
Using artificial intelligence, Ludwig Cancer Research scientists have developed a powerful predictive model for identifying the most potent cancer killing immune cells for use in cancer immunotherapies.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered how a lipid molecule found at high levels within tumors undermines the anti-cancer immune response and compromises a recently approved immunotherapy known as adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, or TIL-ACT.
Through an analysis of tumor samples collected over time from patients with advanced melanoma, a Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a set of preexisting conditions in tumors that predict whether such patients are likely to respond to a personalized immunotherapy known as adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL).
It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Lydia Lynch as a full member of the Princeton Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has generated a granular portrait of how the cellular and molecular components of the blood vessels that feed brain metastases of melanoma and lung and breast cancers differ from those of healthy brain tissue, illuminating how they help shape the internal environment of tumors to support cancer growth and immune evasion.
Ludwig Cancer Research announces its launch of the Ludwig Leadership Fellows Program, which aims to accelerate the careers of exceptional young scientists by helping them establish genuinely independent programs of research immediately after the completion of their graduate studies.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has for the first time exhaustively analyzed neutrophils that reside in brain tumors, detailing how the immune cells support brain cancer survival and how they鈥檙e turned by the tumor microenvironment into enablers of malignant growth.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has shown that combining adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with an innovative, personalized cancer vaccine under development at the Lausanne Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research can benefit patients with late-stage, drug-resistant ovarian cancer.
In exploring an aspect of how killer T cells generate the raw materials required for their proliferation, a Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered an unexpected link between the immune cells鈥� metabolism, regulation of gene expression, persistence and functional efficacy that could be exploited using existing drugs to improve cancer immunotherapy.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a pair of genes whose expression by a type of immune cell within tumors is predictive of outcomes for cancer patients and is linked to a vast network of gene expression programs, engaged by multiple cell types in the tumor microenvironment, that control human cancers.
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has discovered that the presence of relatively high numbers of immune cells known as monocytes in tumors is linked to better outcomes in esophageal cancer patients treated with a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, or immunochemotherapy.
Researchers at the Ludwig Center at Harvard have developed a platform technology for imaging that enables integration of the methods of microscopic analysis long employed in pathology laboratories with the visualization of multiple molecular markers in individual cells that is now rapidly advancing in research labs.
Ludwig Cancer Research congratulates Douglas Hanahan, Ludwig Distinguished Scholar at the Lausanne Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, on his election as Foreign Member of the Royal Society.
