In this episode of Back Bay’s industry podcast, The Life Science Report, Dr. Peter Bak is joined by Mike Bogetofte Barnkob, a doctor with the Department of Clinical Immunology at Odense University Hospital in Denmark and a research fellow at the University of Southern Denmark, to discuss current perspectives—clinical, scientific and manufacturing—on the cell therapy space. Dr. Barnkob’s expertise spans basic and clinical immunology, with a particular interest in advanced cellular modalities, such as chimeric antigen or CAR T-cells. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Back Bay’s hometown, and completed his PhD at Oxford University. Topics in this podcast include: 
The current clinical and academic uses of CAR T-cells and where they are headed in the near-term
How cellular therapies factor into a robust and thriving public healthcare-based system
Ongoing questions of pricing and reimbursement
Challenges and approval processes in getting these "living medicines" to people
Hurdles and considerations when building a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) cellular facility
