I think it's interesting that a protein in our bodies, that we develop when we are young and shuts off as we get older, that's labeled "Survivin" can actually be used to fight Glioblastoma and potentially other rare cancers. A protein called Survivin has the word "survive" in it. Isn't that thought provoking! It's like the Universe is giving us what we need to fight this deadly cancer.
Our guest today, Dr. Mike Ciesielski, is a co-inventor of the survivin vaccine (SurVaxM) technology on which the company MimiVax was founded. He sits down with us to talk about how this little protein is being manipulated to "vaccinate" our bodies, including the brain, again further GBM growth and cell proliferation. It's a fascinating episode you won't want to miss!
