Therapeutic Vaccine Against Cancer
Dr. Jose Mordoh – disciple of the Nobel Prize winners François Jacob (France) and Luis F.Leloir (Argentina) – directs a research team that is developing a vaccine against cancer. The vaccines are therapeutic, not preventive, because they act only on cancer patients. They’ve been doing clinical tests on patients for more than 10 years.
-
Cancer Vaccine Fund
The cancer vaccine Fund’s objective is to finance the final phase of its application to patients with melanoma, as well as the advance of the study of breast, colon and prostate cancer.
