Gene therapy for breast cancer
Breast cancer is a deadly disease. While a number of treatment options have been developed for advanced breast cancers, not all patients ultimately get cured. One promising way to treat this deadly disease is to stimulate the immune system so that the body's own defences detect and attack the cancer cells effectively. This project is intended to explore this therapeutic approach by developing effective ways to modify immune cells. We want to explore if DNA molecules can be effectively delivered to immune cells and whether such cells could be made to secrete important molecules that stimulate the fight against the cancer
