How India made CAR-T for just $30,000
The inside story of ImmunoACT, whose Indian-made CAR-T therapy saved a young girl’s life and now costs around $30,000, compared with up to $500,000 in the United States. Ishwari Salunkhe was among the first children in India to receive CAR-T, around a decade after Emily Whitehead’s life was saved by the experimental treatment that went on to become the first FDA-approved CAR-T therapy.

Dear readers,
As a doctor, I want to understand the future of care for every patient I treat.
At Onyx, we travel the world interviewing biotech CEOs to share the discoveries shaping tomorrow’s medicines. Our journalism and events explain the cutting edge of biotechnology and connect the people behind it.
I’m excited for Cell & Gene Live to bring hundreds of cell and gene therapy executives, academics, regulators and investors to London, where I moved after leaving home, trained in medicine and first worked in a hospital.
Yours faithfully,

Co-founder
