###### The Next Frontier in Cancer Immunotherapy

CAR NK cell therapy is redefining the landscape of cancer treatment. Unlike traditional T cell therapies, NK cells offer an *off-the-shelf solution with no risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD),* making them a promising allogeneic option. This webinar will *explore how genetic engineering and cytokine support are enhancing NK cell efficacy,* paving the way for more accessible and effective immunotherapies.

###### CD70 CAR NK Cells: A Game-Changer

Focusing on CD70 CAR NK cells, this session will *highlight innovative strategies to optimize NK cell function.* Learn how researchers are leveraging retroviral engineering and rigorous screening processes to *develop potent tumor-targeting constructs*. With promising preclinical results, CD70 CAR NK cells are now advancing into clinical trials, offering new hope for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

### What’s Next in Cell Therapy?

With Phase I/II trials underway, CAR NK therapy is moving closer to clinical reality. *This webinar will provide key insights into the latest developments, challenges, and future directions of NK-based immunotherapies.* Join us to gain expert perspectives on how engineered NK cells could *revolutionize cancer treatment and expand access to life-saving therapies.*
