The procedure has been offered since 1992 and Siteman performs nearly 100 every year, making the program one of the largest in the world.
Washington University’s Center for Gene and Cellular Immunotherapy offers vector-based gene therapy and cellular therapies and has capabilities to manufacture CAR-T and NK based therapies in our state-of-art GMP facility. Our physicians perform over 75 CAR-T infusions each year, totaling nearly 300 CAR-T infusions since our cell therapy program inception in 2018.
Siteman is one of only three institutions nationwide to hold a Specialized Program in Research Excellence (SPORE) grant in leukemia from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
