From 25th November to 9th December, two members of our ICCVS team, Dr. Anna Biernacka and Alicja Dziadosz, participated in an intensive training program on γδ T cell culture at the Department of Biology, Università di Roma “Tor Vergata.”

Under the expert mentorship of Dr. Marina Potestà, Dr. Carla Montesano, and Dr. Alessandra Sacchi, our team gained hands-on experience in purifying, expanding, characterizing, and activating these rare yet powerful immune cells. This invaluable expertise will play a crucial role in advancing our research on cellular anti-NSCLC therapies at ICCVS.

A highlight of the trip was attending the Extracellular Vesicles and Nanoparticles Conference (CSEVP-2024) on 4th December. The event featured cutting-edge talks by leading experts and promising young scientists, making it a truly inspiring experience.

Outside the lab, our team also had the pleasure of experiencing the rich Roman cuisine and enjoying time with colleagues in a traditional Roman restaurant.

We give our gratitude to the team at Università di Roma “Tor Vergata” for their expertise and warm hospitality!

These visit was part of the CANVAS project aiming to enhance research potential and develop innovative tools that contribute to the advancement of cell-based therapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
