Wellington’s Malaghan Institute teams up with China to develop cancer treatment
Kiwi researchers will be the forefront of developing a new cancer treatment thanks to a new deal with their Chinese counterparts.
Wellington’s Malaghan Institute of Medical Research has teamed up with Chinese researchers to develop and trial new immunotherapies in this country, to be initially targeted at leukaemia patients.
“We already know this is extremely effective in acute leukaemia patients,” Dr Robert Weinkove, clinical director of the Malaghan’s human immunology laboratory said.
