SWECARNET
SWEDEN’S CAR T CELL COMPETENCE NETWORK
SWECARNET is an open network of key representatives in the Swedish CAR T field from academia, healthcare, and industry working towards knowledge exchange and development of standardized processes for CAR T delivery and follow-up. SWECARNET’s central goal is to implement gene-modified immune effector cell therapy, such as CAR T, so that patients in need, and likely to benefit, get access to new treatments through clinical trials or as standard of care treatment independent of where they are living in the country. The SWECARNET network is a continuation of the Swelife-ATMP SDP5 project.
