With an aim to drive collaborative team science & in honor of our remarkable #CARTcell patients, we started the annual Cleveland Hood Lecture w/ Dr Neev Manoharan of Sydney Children’s Hospital as our inaugural speaker. It’s a privilege to build intercontinental alliances against childhood cancer ❤️🔬
