As this year’s edition focuses on Cell and Gene Therapy, we are pleased to introduce Ivana as one of our speakers.

Ivana is a postdoctoral researcher specializing in the development of next-generation cellular immunotherapies, with a strong focus on bridging experimental innovation and clinical application. Her research centers on CAR- and TRUCK-engineered natural killer (NK) cells designed to target gynecological malignancies, particularly ovarian and cervical cancer.

She earned her PhD in natural sciences from Hannover Medical School, specializing in virology, and subsequently expanded her translational expertise at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research. Currently, she is a lead researcher at the Institute for Experimental Hematology in the group of Prof. Michael Morgan, where she leads projects focused on the preclinical development and functional optimization of NK cell-based therapies.

Her work combines advanced cellular engineering with clinically relevant model systems, including sophisticated 3D in vitro tumour models used to investigate tumour–immune interactions and mechanisms of therapy resistance. To ensure translational relevance, she has also established biobanks of primary gynecological tumour samples derived from patients.

Ivana collaborates closely with clinical partners to advance innovative therapeutic strategies from experimental research toward clinical application. She also actively contributes to national initiatives in gene and cell therapy and is strongly committed to mentoring and training the next generation of scientists in translational oncology and advanced immunotherapy.

We are pleased to introduce Pierre Savatier as one of our speakers.

Prof. Pierre Savatier is a distinguished researcher in the fields of stem cell biology and developmental biology. His work focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating pluripotency, cell differentiation, and early embryonic development, with major contributions to understanding how stem cells maintain their identity and how they can be directed toward specific lineages.

He obtained his PhD in biological sciences from the University of Lyon, France, where he studied genome evolution in primates. He subsequently carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford, investigating early mouse embryo development and pluripotent stem cells. He later established his own research group at the École Normale Supérieure in Lyon, focusing on cell cycle regulation in embryonic stem cells and neural progenitors.

In 2004, he joined the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Lyon and contributed to the creation of the Stem Cell and Brain Research Institute, where he currently leads the team “Pluripotent Stem Cells in Mammals.”

His research explores the regulation of pluripotency across species, including rabbits, non-human primates, and humans, as well as the generation of chimeric models using engineered stem cells. He has published extensively, secured competitive funding, and is an active member of international collaborations and research networks.

We are honoured to welcome him to BSS 2026 and look forward to the insights he will share with our participants!

We are pleased to introduce Piotr Trzonkowski as one of our speakers.

Piotr Trzonkowski, MD, PhD is the CEO of PolTREG and Professor of Immunology at the Medical University of Gdańsk. His main scientific interest lies in the clinical application of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the mechanisms of immune tolerance.

His research group developed and applied the first-in-man protocols for treatment with expanded T regulatory cells. He graduated from the Medical University of Gdańsk in 1999 and completed his PhD in 2003 with a thesis focused on suppressive mechanisms and the role of Tregs in immunosenescence.

From 2004 to 2006, he worked at the University of Oxford, where he studied the immune background of therapy with alemtuzumab and the biology of Tregs. Since 2007, he has served as Professor of Immunology at the Medical University of Gdańsk, where he developed the first clinical trials involving Tregs. Between 2010 and 2011, he was a visiting professor at the University of Chicago, working on immune tolerance after pancreatic islet transplantation.

The clinical trials supervised by Professor Trzonkowski have covered graft-versus-host disease, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and pancreatic islet allotransplantation. In 2016, he founded the spin-off company PolTREG, which is conducting pivotal trials with Tregs in type 1 diabetes and developing new generations of Treg-based therapies, including CAR-Tregs, antigen-specific Tregs, and TCR-Tregs for autoimmune diseases.

We are honoured to welcome him to BSS 2026 and look forward to the insights he will share with our participants.
