About Lei Wang, M.D.

As the director of CAR-T-cell development at MiGenTra GmbH, I lead a team of scientists and engineers to develop innovative and personalized cellular therapies for cancer patients. I have over 10 years of experience in the field of cellular immunotherapy, with a strong background in immunology, medicine, R&D, GMP manufacturing, and data science. I am certified in GMP and ICH-GCP, and I focus on developing advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) that meet the highest quality and regulatory standards. I have designed and implemented analytical methods, quality control systems, and ATMP applications for various cellular products, and I have successfully obtained the ATMP classification and the permission for phase II clinical trial from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). I have also contributed to 42 peer-reviewed publications with a total impact factor of 333, and received 4 awards for my research excellence. I am passionate about translating basic science to GMP and bringing novel immunotherapies to the market and to the patients.
