RE: Lindy Durrant talking at Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Immunological Advances for Cancer Treatment16 Feb 2024 09:06
Thanks CW and Marcus,
"The genetic aberrations of each individual patient with cancer is different, which creates a challenge for the development of therapeutic cancer vaccines. One approach is to characterize the tumor from each individual, so that the vaccine can be tailored precisely for that person in order to be better targeted. This approach is difficult to scale up, takes more time and results in higher cost. The alternative is to develop off-the-shelf vaccines, but the challenge is how to make them sufficiently targeted and effective across a wide range of individuals. The pros and cons of these two approaches will be discussed"
I think that will pique the interest of many scientists and I would love to be a fly on the wall for those conversations. Proof in human trials too, so not just pie in the sky!
