Abstract

Acute myeloid leukaemia is an aggressive blood cancer with poor survival. Even with the available arsenal of treatments, many patients still succumb to relapse and death. Building on the successes of COVID-19 vaccine technology, our lab aims to develop a cancer vaccine that harnesses the power of the immune system to target and eradicate leukaemic cells. We will test this vaccine in genetically engineered mice before progressing to clinical trials. Our approach may also benefit other cancers.
