At the 17th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy, Daniel J. Powell Jr., Ph.D., research associate professor, Ovarian Cancer Research Center, Abramson Cancer Center, was presented with The Outstanding New Investigator Award. The Outstanding New Investigator awards are presented to individuals whose early achievements in the field demonstrate remarkable distinction. Dr. Daniel Powell's important contributions to T cell-based cancer therapy include elucidation of the role of CD27 in human T cell memory, development of a novel dual signaling approach to CAR-T cell therapy to limit toxicity, and identification of CD137 as a marker of naturally occurring tumor-reactive T cells.

T-Cell Therapy was the brainchild of Dr. Carl June, TRCCC Member and Director of Translational Research, University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center. In this special, the parents of a young girl suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia turn to the Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania looking for a Phase I trial to save their daughter's life, as all other treatments had failed. The Phase I trial of Dr. June's T-Cell Therapy was their last chance for a cure and turned out to be just want the Whiteheads' young daughter needed for a new chance at life.
