Patents Filed/commercialization

I have filed > 50 patents. In 2020, a review of the CAR T patent landscape, Nature Biotechnology listed me as the #2 global inventor in CAR T (). In 2021, a by the EPO listed me as the #1 inventor of CAR T cell patents at the EPO. Patents I have filed teach amongst many inventions new suicide genes (WO2013153391 and WO2017137759). new receptor types (WO2015052536, WO2016139487), a strategy to target T cell Lymphomas (WO2015132598) and ways of CAR targeting multiple antigens simultaneously (WO2016174407).

Designs in first in Man studies

I have designed numerous T cell engineering components which have been tested in human subjects

Public engagement

I collaborated with the animator Greg Foot to create a Ted Ed video 鈥淗ow to bio hack your T cells to fight cancer鈥. This is available on and has been watched >500,000 times.

I collaborated with BBC2 to create a documentary detailing CAR T first in man clinical study. This won the 2020 Grierson Award. It is available on , and on the director鈥檚 page on .

Engagement with Industry and Entrepreneurship

In 2007, I established a collaboration with the genome editing company Cellectis. With their CSO, Andy Scharenberg, we conceived the idea of TAL mediated TCR and CD52 ko, allowing the use of Campath to prevent CAR T rejection. The first-in-man test was at 香港六合彩中特网 (PMID: 28123068). The cassette I developed for this (RQR8/4G7-41BB-Z) is currently in study by Cellectis in B-ALL (NCT02808442), and in DLBCL by Allogene (NCT03939026).

In 2015, I founded Autolus Ltd a CAR T cell company based in London. Autolus has since floated on the Nasdaq, raised >$500M and currently employs over 300 people and opened 5 clinical studies. Autolus has licensed CAT19-41BB-z, the fast off-rate CD19 CAR I developed at 香港六合彩中特网 and this is now in a phase Ib/II registration study (NCT04404660).

I am on the scientific advisory board of Mana Therapeutics, a company developing neo TIL therapy for acute myeloid leukemia. I am also on the scientific advisory board of Virocell Therapeutics.
