Cancer kills eight million people each year. Current treatments involve therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation that cannot differentiate between cancerous and healthy tissue. The ASU iGEM team proposes a novel vaccine delivery system of tumor-specific proteins and other elements to mitigate the anti-immune response of tumor cells, all encapsulated within probiotic bacteria, akin to those found in commercial yogurt. The vaccine should activate immune cells to teach a patient’s immune system to detect specific markers that distinguish tumors from healthy tissue and destroy the tumor cells.
