Previous Speakers

Dr Adil Duru
I received my Ph.D. from the Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM), Karolinska Institutet (KI), Sweden, in 2012 where I studied MHC-class I restricted-peptide based immunomodulation of T cells and NK cells. I moved for my post-doctoral studies at the Center for Hematology and Regenerative Medicine (HERM) at KI with a focus on developing novel cell culture agents and methods as well as genetic modification strategies for ex vivo NK cell expansion. In parallel, I investigated the impact of novel immunomodulatory drugs and biological agents on prognosis and treatment of multiple myeloma patients.
From 2015 until 2020, I continued my research as an Assistant Professor/Group Leader at the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Cell Therapy Institute, FL, USA, in the field of tumor immunology and immunotherapy with a specific interest in investigating NK cell interactions with different primary solid tumour models such as Melanoma and Sarcoma and developing novel TCR- and CAR-based genetically modified NK cell immunotherapies. Furthermore, I established and directed the Cell Therapy Core Facility (CTC) at NSU, which is capable of design, development, pre-clinical evaluation and optimization of cell therapy products. Additionally, I am a cofounder and shareholder of the biotech company Vycellix, which is focused on developing innovative products enhancing the immune responses against cancer.
In 2020, I joined to Glycostem Therapeutics, Netherlands, as senior research manager where I am working to develop novel robust and efficient native and engineered NK cell-based immunotherapy regimens for high-risk cancers.

Bakul Gupta
Dr Bakul Gupta is the CEO and Co-founder of ImmTune Therapies, a preclinical stage cell therapy biotech which is developing safe, scalable and affordable in vivo cell therapies. The company is leveraging its unique platform to effectively deliver genetic cargoes directly to targeted cells, and applying it across different indications in cell and gene therapies.
Bakul founded the company in 2019, along with her business partner, Dr George Tetley after a 6-month long research into the challenges faced by current cell and gene therapy companies. She holds a PhD and BSc in Nanotechnology and Chemistry from the UNSW Australia, and finished her postdoctoral training with Prof. Molly Stevens at Imperial College London before starting ImmTune Therapies.
She has over 10 years of experience in designing nano- and bio-materials for a diverse set of biomedical applications and has previous experience in commercialisation of medical devices. She was recently listed as the Top 30 biotech entrepreneurs to watch as part of a report produced by BioBeat.

Behnam Sadeghi
Behnam Sadeghi graduated as medical doctor (MD) in 1995. Dr Sadeghi did his PhD in transplantation Immunology in 2009 at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. Since then, Dr Sadeghi’s research concentrated in the field of cell therapy and regenerative medicine both in clinical practice and experimental models. Dr Sadeghi established and applied decidua stromal cells (DSC) for the treatment of steroid refractory GVHD, ARDS and other acute inflammatory disorders in man. Other cell therapy modalities including bone marrow, adipose derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM, Ad-MSC) are among his research interest. Currently, Dr Sadeghi is head of Translational Cell therapy Research group (TCR) at the department of CLINTEC, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.

Benjamin Rengstl
Dr. Benjamin Rengstl is a trained physician and biochemist. Since 2009, he is exploring the potential of the immune system to combat cancer and infectious diseases. Between 2014 and 2016, he received his approbation as well as a PhD and a MD degree from the University of Frankfurt, Germany. During his postdoctoral training, he developed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T-cell therapies against lymphomas and got trained in clinical pathology. In 2017, he joined BioNTech SE located in Mainz to develop a clinical CAR-T cell candidate for treatment of solid tumors. To improve CAR-T cell therapy, his team pioneered an in vivo expansion concept based on a liposomally formulated RNA vaccine for systemic delivery of CAR antigen (CAR T-cell Amplifying RNA Vaccine, CARVac). A FIH clinical trial assessing BioNTech´s novel CLDN6-specific CAR in combination with CARVac is currently ongoing. Furthermore, he is leading multiple programs to develop next generation cell- and RNA-based immunotherapies and further takes technology agnostic approaches to create new strategies for controlled modulation of the immune system.

Why Attend
Europe is a powerhouse of research but has been struggling to keep pace with development in the US. Get multiple perspectives during panel discussions on how to attract investment from C-suite executives and investors and explore European regulatory and reimbursement challenges for the cell therapy field. At the Onco Cell Therapy Summit: Europe 2022, we:
- Brought together over 200 of Europe’s leading innovators and investors to drive partnerships, collaborations and drive adoptive cell therapies to the market
- Addressed durability, reduce exhaustion, and build in optimal approaches for targeting antigen heterogeneity to hit the tumour microenvironment
- Explored genome-editing, iPSC-derived approaches and management strategies for chromosomal abnormalities and translocations for allogeneic cell therapy development
- Established robust, scalable and flexible vein-to-vein processes to enhance just in time delivery of cell therapies
