Igniting Breakthroughs in
CAR-TCR Solid Tumor Therapies
Collaborative Innovation for Conquering Solid Tumors
A private network for CAR-TCR drug developers
designed by CAR-TCR drug developers
Welcome to CAR-TCR Solid Tumor Searchlight, your collaborative beacon against solid tumors. This exclusive network unites global CAR-TCR drug developers, fostering collaboration to ignite breakthroughs in solid tumor therapies.
Solid tumors, making up 90% of global cancer incidences, pose significant challenges. The Searchlight network is committed to tackling these challenges through collective innovation across a spectrum of novel approaches including CAR-T, TCR, NK, TIL, and macrophage cell therapies. Our members, through regular engagement, gain key insights and refine best practices, steering the course of their unique solid tumor programs.
As a member, you join a community of CAR-T leaders, where you can leverage four core pillars of value: meaningful connections, defining best practices, better decision making, and time-saving benefits. Our network operates as a collective, firm in our belief that true innovation is a result of collaboration.
Our annual membership offers unparalleled value through features like virtual cornerstone meetings, year-round support, access to an exclusive online community hub, and bespoke engagements.
Join us today and become part of a global force driving breakthroughs in CAR-TCR development for solid tumors. Together, we can accelerate our journey towards success.

Business-Defining Dialogues
Quarterly Virtual Workshops
We orchestrate meticulously structured, CAR-TCR-centric, quarterly gatherings for our member companies.
These high-impact 90-minute virtual meetings held via Zoom serve as a crucible for innovation, with a tightly-focused agenda curated around the most pressing topics and challenges flagged by our Searchlight members.
To guarantee the highest value and maximum impact, each member company is represented by a dedicated internal champion with strategic insight into its CAR-TCR program. This ensures the generation of practical insights and actionable outputs that members can implement within their respective organizations.

Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation
Searchlight makes meaningful progress
“It's an opportunity to share experience from the challenges and solutions that I've seen over the my career and also to learn from others to better prepare for what is coming in advanced therapy development.”
“The biggest advantage of collaboration is to advance a field more quickly for the benefit of the patient. This platform will allow everybody share their experience, success and failures and together so we can advance our therapies forward more quickly”
“I believe that to advance a field as a collective, it's vital to exchange experience and learnings with peers. This network can allow us to channel the energy we all share for the science into better understanding of concepts to address solid tumors with cell therapy.”
