Vaccines to treat and potentially cure cancer will be at the heart of a “national war” on the disease over the next decade, Sajid Javid will say on Thursday.
The Health Secretary will set out a vision to make Britain a “world leader” in cancer care, amid warnings of some 50,000 missing diagnoses since the start of the pandemic.
Mr Javid will promise a 10-year Cancer Plan for England, which will use new technologies - including mRNA vaccines - to find new ways to boost survival rates.
Scientists who pioneered the jabs to protect people against Covid are examining whether similar methods can be used to train the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells, preventing regrowth.
Interesting in that they appear to be using PharmaJet so any further validation of SCLP's chosen delivery mechanism can only be a good thing. However, they do not have our level of funding and are not listed so you can't buy shares in them even if you wanted to...
From The Irish News today:
"To create a universal vaccine, scientists must focus on common characteristics and structures between coronaviruses and then 'exploit' them. One approach being investigated is targeting the core of the virus, not just the trademark spike protein (the way coronaviruses gain entry into a cell, and the target of existing vaccines). Scientists at Nottingham University and the UK company Scancell are developing a universal Covid-19 vaccine which, as well as the surface spikes, targets a protein in the core of the virus which is far less likely to mutate. Human trials are expected to start this year after positive results on mice showed the formula can induce an immune response. "

Hi Violin. No name check for SCLP, but if someone googles 'Jonathan Ball DNA Vaccine', the second result is:

From SCLP RNS 24/4/20:
Professor Jonathan Ball, Director of the Centre for Research on Global Virus Infections at the University
of Nottingham added:
“Focusing the antibody responses on the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus should
ensure the generation of high-titre antibodies that prevent infection. Delivering these virus targets using
Scancell’s DNA vaccine platform, which has already been shown to be safe and effe
