Doctor develops DNA vaccine to fight cancer
"Dr. Wei-Zen Wei and her colleagues at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit shook up the cancer research field last year when she published a paper that concluded a cancer vaccine had prevented laboratory mice from succumbing to one of the most virulent forms of breast cancer..
Wei's lab was the first in the world to develop the HER2 DNA vaccine. It was first tested on tumor cells that no longer responded to other therapies for HER2-positive breast cancer."
