Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are funding the development of a smart biosensor coating to enable continuous monitoring and characterization of cells during the production of immunotherapies. Co-investigators Carlos M. Cantu, an SwRI research engineer, and Dr. Gabriela Romero Uribe, an associate professor in UT San Antonio’s Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design, plan to use smart sensors to automate processes to reduce human errors and costs associated with CAR T-cell production.
