Advanced cell therapies represent the cutting-edge of modern immunotherapeutic modalities. These life-changing medicines have recently been made available to Irish patients (CAR-T therapy specifically) in the clinical setting.   

IMPACT (Irish Medicines – Personalised Advanced Cellular Therapies) is a new All-Island Research Centre proposal – developed under the ongoing Research Ireland centres funding call – which aims to develop cellular-based therapies in Ireland and to deliver Irish patients’ access to these novel therapies in a more effective and more affordable way.

This video tells the story of one young Irish family and their journey to accessing CAR-T for their daughter, Erin, and paints the vision of the IMPACT Centre.
