Title | Rare cells bring new hope in cancer immunotherapy |
---|---|
Description | Unleashing the intrinsic power of the immune system to fight cancer is the focus of Dr Chow Kwan Ting and her research team on the anti-tumour activities of a rare immune cell type - plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Dr Chow, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, has received the 2019 Croucher Innovation Award for the pioneering research. The current focus of the study is mainly liver and breast cancers, which are prevalent cancer types in Hong Kong. Dr Chow said their ultimate goal is to design targeted immunotherapies and vaccines against broader types of cancer. |

Title | 巾帼不让须眉︰香港城大女年轻学者研究独特免疫细胞获嘉许 |
---|---|
Description | 人类与癌症斗智斗勇了许多年仍未取得绝对胜利,导致大家闻“癌”色变。其实科研人员一直默默在研发先进的技术与癌症对抗。比如说近年来渐露头角的免疫疗法,虽然仍有待进一步广泛应用,但已为许多癌症患者带来了希望。香港城市大学(香港城大)生物医学系的一位年轻学者,便致力研究一种于人体内数量稀少的免疫细胞,探索它引发对抗癌症的免疫机制,终极目标是研发出可适用于不同癌症的新一代免疫疗法和疫苗。她凭有关研究,近日获得裘槎基金会“前瞻科研大奖”。 |

Title | CityU young scholar’s research on rare cells brings hope to new cancer immunotherapy and vaccine |
---|---|
Description | Cancer immunotherapy has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Although still at its infancy, it has brought hope to many cancer patients. Exploring the anti-tumour activities of a rare immune cell type in the human body is the focus of a research project led by a biomedical scientist and her research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The research findings will provide insights into designing new generations of cancer immunotherapy and vaccine against different cancers. |
