"Yes, we feel that a cure for cancer, or to changing cancer patients' lives, is in our grasp," said Professor Ozlem Tureci during an interview on "The goal that we have is that can we use the individualized vaccine approach to ensure that directly after surgery, patients receive a personalized, individualized vaccine, and we induce an immune response that so the T-cells in the body of the patient can screen the body for remaining tumor cells and ideally eliminate the tumor cells," Sahin explained.
That work was the"tailwind" for the COVID-19 shot development, which, in turn, now"gives back" to their cancer research, said Tureci.Keunssberg asked the couple if there was"still a chance" that the cancer vaccine doesn't work.
