NextGenNK

FOR NOVEL, SAFE, AFFORDABLE AND CURATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS

Our vision is to transform tomorrow’s means of treating cancer by innovative and affordable NK cell-based therapies developed in collaboration with SME/industry and health care, and thereby, make Swedish and select international SMEs/industry global leaders in the field of cancer immunotherapy. The presently outlined therapies will potentially transform medical practice, with the promise to treat, manage and potentially cure some of the most debilitating and costly diseases. As such, we aim to create and develop a new segment in Swedish Life Science Industry Research Strategy.
