Juno Therapeutics Inc, which has technology for genetically engineering T cells, has teamed up with Fate Therapeutics Inc to find out whether there is a role for small molecules in improving the profile of engineered T cells as therapies. The four-year collaboration takes T cell immunotherapy one step further by potentially introducing new modulators into the mix of technologies that are now being investigated globally for a wide range of cancers. The collaboration was announced on 6 May.
