Regensburg Center for Interventional Immunology adopts
LUMICKS’ z-Movi® Cell Avidity Analyzer
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – May 27, 2021 – In its effort to develop effective cellular immunotherapies for cancer treatment, the Regensburg Center for Interventional Immunology (RCI) in Germany has purchased LUMICKS’ z-Movi® Cell Avidity Analyzer. The placement highlights the promise of measuring cell avidity between immune cells and their tumor targets to improve the selection of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and accelerate the development of new CAR-T therapies.
The new instrument has been placed in the lab of Dr. Hinrich Abken, Professor and Chair for Genetic Immunotherapy at Regensburg University. Professor Abken is a pioneer in the design and development of CAR T cells for cancer malignancies. His current work is aimed at improving T cell targeting of cancer cells and at translating these strategies into clinical trials.
