Tampa Bay Lab Working on a Cancer Vaccine That Would Allow Our Bodies to Fight the Disease on Its Own
What if our bodies could fight cancer on their own? That’s what’s been tested in a lab in Tampa. UF startup and UF Innovate | Sid Martin Biotech graduate startup Morphogenesis, Inc., a clinical-stage immunotherapy company, believes it can use the body’s immune system to fight the disease.
“I think what is so exciting about our vaccine is that we call it a universal solution with a personalized result. It is an off-the-shelf vaccine that can be directly injected, and that person’s immune system will attack their own tumor cells,” said Patricia Lawman, co-founder and CEO.
