Some of my long - standing research has focused on the use of food - based agents to prevent cancer, and on the use
of vaccine therapies for pancreas cancer.

vaccine therapy in human ovarian cancer.
Starting her career as an army officer and a post-doctoral fellow in the Division of Retrovirology, WRAIR, CPT Polonis characterized newly induced antibody responses in HIV - positive patients immunized with HIV - 1 Env in the first HIV
vaccine therapy trial.
Scientists say that two
new vaccine therapies have finally produced protective immune responses against prions in mice, and that such therapies could be further developed to work in humans or livestock.
Papers detailing these results, the first research ever to look at the synergy of immunotherapy with conventional chemotherapy, have been submitted to peer - reviewed journals, and Black thinks publication will generate considerable excitement among cancer researchers, who have until now seen mostly disappointing results
from vaccine therapies against other cancers.
He has made major contributions to monitoring patients» immune responses
during vaccine therapy and arriving at accurate prognoses.
In addition to CAR - T cell therapy, we focus on other types of immunotherapy research, such
as vaccine therapy and checkpoint inhibitors.
Seriously, if you need a vaccine after you're already infected, then you're not so much looking for a single shot as you are planning out an entire course
of vaccine therapy.
Trials of
the vaccine therapy are planned to start later this year at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) in Brisbane and the Royal Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam.
First, the time until a patient's tumor progressed was significantly extended in patients that received
the vaccine therapy.
Vaccine therapies are designed to strengthen the body's immune defenses and are typically given in the arm or leg.
Vaccine therapy is currently being used to stimulate the immune system of melanoma patients with metastatic disease.
