The project

The Draper End-to-End Bioprocessing System transforms a patient's own blood cells into cancer-fighting CAR-T cell therapy. It is fast, efficient, and reduces a multi-week process to days or even hours — making cell therapy more affordable and allowing more patients to be treated, fundamentally saving lives. Designed in collaboration with design director Robert de Saint Phalle, Draper biomedical engineers, and design agency Sprout Studios.
