We are proud to share that a research team led by @EPFL professor Li Tang, head of the Lab of #Biomaterials for #Immunoengineering, has received the prestigious Fondation Leenaards prize 2025!

The goal of team's work is to increase the stiffness of #cancer-cell membranes, making it easier for patients’ T-cells to attack and destroy tumors. Their approach could lead to more effective treatments for patients who are resistant to existing #immunotherapy.

Research team led by Li Tang wins Leenaards Foundation Science Prize

Two research groups in the Lake Geneva region have been selected for the 2025 Leenaards Science Prize, which comes with a total of CHF 1.4 million in award money. One of the research groups, led by Li Tang of the Laboratory of Biomaterials for Immunoengineering in EPFL's School of Engineering, is exploring a new approach to overcoming cancer-cell resistance to immunotherapy.

I guess here’s my intro — I’m a scientist who used to play across hay bales for fun growing up & got 2nd place in a high school county science fair one time. Now I do research for a living, focusing on #immunoengineering & how our immune cells could be targeted not just for fighting viruses but healing wounds. NIH-er, tenure-track, not a prof — yes I “left academia”. Skip to 53:30, you’ll get the gist: https://youtu.be/426T6VgPvz4
