Atharva from ⁦ImmunoACT⁩ explaining to ⁦Bill Gates⁩ about how we are ensuring “access” of CAR-T cell therapy for cancer in India. Until recently, CAR-T was not available in India due to high cost (~400,000 USD per patient). Our efforts reduced the cost by >90%.

Excellent study! And I completely agree that POC in CART has fewer benefits then associated risks. In country like India, centralized (regional decentralisation) manufacturing with appropriate controls is key for manufacturing high quality CAR-T cells for our patients.
