About the speaker:

Filipe Pereira, Ph.D. is a Professor of Molecular Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University in Sweden. Dr. Pereira is recognized for his work at the interface of cellular reprogramming and immunology and for fostering development of reprogramming-based immunotherapies.

For the last 20 years he has contributed to the fields of cellular reprogramming and hematopoietic specification. He has pioneered cellular reprogramming approaches in immunology by inducing dendritic cells from fibroblasts and cancer cells and co-founded Asgard Therapeutics, which received investment from leading European VCs to translate in vivo dendritic cell reprogramming to benefit cancer patients.
