ASU Spotlight www.azpbs.org/asuspotlight

The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State Univeristy
New Avenues to Prevent and Treat Cancer
Part 2 of 2
The Institute and Mayo Clinic are working collaboratively on a vaccine against multiple forms of cancer. Similar to childhood vaccinations, the innoculation would pre-arm the immune system to prevent the disease.
ASU researchers are also working to develop cancer treatments that would result in fewer side effects. The drugs would specifically target cancer cells but leave normal cells alone.
Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Michael Tracy, D.Phil., Deputy Director, the Biodesign Institute; and Laurence Miller, Director of Research, Mayo Clinic.
Guest interviews include: Douglas Lake, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute and Sidney Hecht, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute.
