Glycostem’s mission to manufacture NK cells from cord blood stem cells and treat cancer patients could play a pivotal role in combating this deadly disease.
Glycostem develops innovative therapies for the treatment of different types of cancer: leukaemia, lymphoma and solid cancers. It is an off-the-shelf immune therapy, in which so-called Natural Killer Cells play an important role. John Veluchamy focuses on the development of affordable, highly effective, off-the-shelf therapy against tumours. His research into NK cells, derived from the umbilical cord, plays an important role in this. Veluchamy comes from India, studied Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at King’s College in London and obtained his PhD in NK cell immunotherapy from VU University Amsterdam in 2018. He has been working full time at Glycostem since December 2016. Veluchamy sees a major role for the Netherlands in the development of new medicines. The arrival of the European Medical Agency will consolidate this role.
