Biohacking cancer & the kiss of death

A new intern joins our research group. On his first day in the lab, he learns about drug trafficking and the kiss of death. Also, he gets a taste of cell culture and raises an unusual question...

Cancer is nothing else than a distorted version of our normal being. Therefore, unlike common cancer treatment options (surgery, irradiation, chemotherapy, eg), a self-derived cellular soldier was envisaged to be more effective in tumor treatment. In our work, we evaluated how these cellular soldiers can be armed and trained to be the most efficient.
