Join us for a technical seminar on advanced cell engineering at Oslo Cancer Cluster. This in-person event will feature Anna Pasetto, PhD, director of the Centre for Advanced Cell Therapy (ACT) at Oslo University Hospital, who will share how the ACT Centre is accelerating the development and clinical translation of innovative, cell-based immunotherapies.
You'll also hear from MaxCyte experts Janin Kaper and Jelani Leito, who will present how MaxCyte’s non-viral Flow Electroporation® technology is enabling high-efficiency, GMP-compliant transfection across a wide range of cell types — including T cells, NK cells and stem cells.
Through real-world case studies, we’ll explore how MaxCyte is supporting advanced therapy development in areas such as CRISPR gene editing, cell therapy manufacturing and translational research.
Enjoy a complimentary lunch, meet with fellow researchers and engage in discussions about the future of non-viral cell engineering in clinical development.
Space is limited — reserve your seat today!
Director of the Centre for Advanced Cell Therapy,
Oslo University Hospital
Anna Pasetto is the director of the Center for Advanced Cell Therapy at Oslo University Hospital and an associate professor at the University of Oslo. Previously, she was an assistant professor at Karolinska Institutet, where she managed the pre-GMP facility and remains a research specialist. She earned her master’s in molecular biotechnology from Bologna University in 2007 and a PhD from Karolinska Institutet in 2012. As a postdoctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Anna studied TCR gene isolation from mutation-reactive TILs in solid cancers. Her goal is to advance novel immunotherapies for cancer treatment.
