Professor Alejandro Madrigal: The Path to Breakthrough for the Localization of CAR-T Cell Therapy in Latin America 

In the global wave of medical innovation, emerging therapies such as CAR-T cell therapy have brought revolutionary hope for major diseases, including malignancies. However, their widespread adoption and application face significant regional imbalances, with low- and middle-income countries encountering numerous structural barriers in accessing these frontier technologies. From November 13 to 16, 2025, the 2025 International Conference on Cell and Immunotherapy (CTI 2025) was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. During the conference, Oncology Frontier - Hematology specially invited Professor Alejandro Madrigal from University College London (UCL) to discuss, from an international perspective and using Mexico as a case study, the core challenges Latin America faces in promoting equitable access to medical resources and introducing cutting-edge therapies.
