Congratulations to Krishanu Saha, PhD, Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Christian Capitini, MD, associate professor, Hematology, Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplant, who will serve as Co-PIs on a new project funded by the UW Grainger Institute for Engineering. In this one-year, $50,000 seed project, titled “Virus-free biomanufacturing of cell therapies,” the team will develop novel, safe, scalable, virus-free technologies for genome editing within human cells, and ultimately position UW-Madison to be a center for the biomanufacturing of next generation cell therapies.
