Technical University of Denmark

Kristoffer Haurum Johansen, PhD student, DTU Health Tech, has been awarded a Lundbeck Foundation postdoc grant worth DKK 2,400,000. His research project seeks to identify novel T cell targets for use in connection with cancer immunotherapy. The project involves the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology (aka the genetic scissors).
