Dr. Leonid Metelitsa is a Professor at Baylor College of Medicine. His research is focused on understanding the role of Vα24-invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells in tumor immunity and developing iNKT cell-based cancer immunotherapy.

He originally demonstrated that iNKT cells localize to primary tumors in humans and their presence at the tumor site is associated with favorable outcomes (Metelitsa et al., JEM, 2004). Metelitsa and his team then revealed the underlying mechanistic basis of iNKT cell tumor localization and function in the tumor microenvironment (Song et al., JCI, 2007; Song et al., JCI, 2009, Liu et al., JCI, 2012).

They also developed original technologies for iNKT cell isolation, genetic modification with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), and expansion to clinical scale (Heczey et al., Blood, 2014; Tian et al., JCI, 2016, Ngai et al., JI, 2018).

The first clinical trials of autologous and allogeneic CAR-iNKT cells are currently ongoing in patients with neuroblastoma (Heczey et al., Nat Med, 2020) and B-cell malignancies, respectively while other iNKT cell-based therapeutics are at different stages of pre-clinical development.

Andras Heczey is a physician-scientist at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital focused on the development of safe and effective therapies for patients with cancer using genetically engineered immune effectors.

His team is currently exploring the evolution of CAR T and CAR NKT cells post-infusion in patients using transcriptomic and cell surface marker assessment at the single-cell resolution. 

His state-of-the-art analytical pipeline should provide exceptional insight into the changing functional states of therapeutic cells and identify immune escape mechanisms employed by the solid tumor microenvironment to guide the development of highly effective and specific countermeasures in the next generation of clinical studies.
