A Barbara and Edward Netter Professor in Cancer Gene Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania, Bruce’s work as an immunologist was integral to enabling the development and initial clinical trials of CAR-T, that saved the life of Emily, and so many others since.
In this video interview Bruce looks back over the progress we have seen in CAR-T from those first clinical trials to the CAR-T drug approvals in multiple indications we have today. He also looks ahead to the areas of investigation we can expect to dominate the CAR-T space in the future.
Emily Whiteheads story was told in short documentary film in 2021.

It was submitted to the Tribeca Film Festival and will have its world premier in mid-June. To find out more about the documentary view the Penn Medicine News Release or click here to stream.
