Gavin Painter

Gavin Painter, Professor of Victoria University of Wellington, Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Professor Gavin Painter is developing new treatments for cancer that harness the body’s own immune system to fight the disease. This cancer immunotherapy work is part of an ongoing collaboration with immunologists at the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research.Unlike chemotherapeutic agents that target malignant tissue directly, cancer vaccines target the immune system. They are well tolerated by the body and have fewer side effects than traditional treatments.“The vaccines kick-start the immune system, which sends its own cells to kill the malignant tissue. “To increase vaccine specificity and potency we are using leading edge conjugation and linker strategies to make new classes of synthetic vaccines that target the vaccine components to specialised immune cells.”Gavin collaborates with synthetic chemists, pharmacologists, immunologists and clinicians from Otago, Victoria and Auckland universities and Capital & Coast District Health Board. He looks forward to seeing the New Zealand-based research commercialised in this country. 活动家作为专业第三方嘉宾邀约平台，依托互联网公开数据为您提供嘉宾信息展示服务。若您发现嘉宾信息需要更新或移除，请发送邮件或联系客服。 我们专注于根据您的具体需求（包括演讲议题、会议日期及活动预算等），为您精准匹配各领域专业嘉宾。 为高效服务，建议您提前准备好详细活动信息，并拨打客服电话：18911802888（工作日9:00-18:00）。 温馨提示：本服务仅限嘉宾邀约相关事宜，其他需求暂不处理，感谢您的理解与配合。
