Research Objective
Develop a stem cell-based platform that safely and efficiently delivers viruses that specifically kill tumor cells and restore immune activity in patients with advanced cancer.
Impact
Overcome the inherent limitations that prevent efficient intravenous delivery of tumor killing viruses to metastatic tumors.
Major Proposed Activities
If successful, this proposal will provide the necessary data that will enable the design of clinical trials for improved delivery of tumor killing viruses for the treatment of nonresectable, recurrent, or metastatic solid tumors using stem cell-derived biocarriers.
