Burjeel Medical City (BMC) in Abu Dhabi has partnered with the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to advance immunotherapy solutions for cancer treatment.

The two-year collaboration will focus on engineering T-cell-based therapeutics, including Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, and Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapy to help boost the body's immune system against cancer.

BMC will leverage technologies from TII, including its computational framework to identify patient-specific antigens relevant to the disease and develop personalised therapies.
