Prof. Lindy Durrant, Chief Scientific Officer, Scancell, and Principal Investigator of Project Blueprint, said: "We are thrilled to be on the CRUK Grand Challenge shortlist. This brings us one step closer to delivering our cancer vaccine blueprint. We believe this approach will provide an effective, novel therapy and facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy of combinatorial cancer treatment for patients with most types of cancer. Our unique academic-biotech-clinical partnership, facilitating access to reagents and clinical trials, positions us for success in this space."

Dr Cliff Holloway, Chief Executive Officer, Scancell, commented:  "We are very excited to be an integral member of the team shortlisted for this prestigious award.  If successful, this significant, non-dilutive funding will allow us to extend the utility of our Moditope® platform to develop a new vaccine, Modi-3, in a range of cancers beyond those targeted by our other Moditope candidates, Modi-1 and Modi-2.  This project also allows our technology to be further validated by an exceptional team of scientists.  Project Blueprint envisages a future in which every cancer patient will be offered, as a standard-of-care, a therapeutic vaccine that is tailored to their genetic and antigenic profile".
