ALLAN’S STORY

When former royal protection officer Allan Peters was told his advanced B-cell lymphoma was terminal, he began planning his funeral. Just over a year later, he was cancer-free after receiving pioneering CAR T-cell therapy at University Hospital Southampton, a breakthrough treatment he describes as nothing short of a miracle. These are the kinds of research breakthroughs that the IMI will accelerate.
