About the vaccine
“Yes, we feel that a cure for cancer, or to changing cancer patients’ lives, is in our grasp,” said Professor Ozlem Tureci during an interview on BBC’s “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.” “We believe that this will happen, definitely, before 2030,” he told Keunssberg.
“The goal that we have is that can we use the individualized vaccine approach to ensure that directly after surgery, patients receive a personalized, individualized vaccine, and we induce an immune response that so the T-cells in the body of the patient can screen the body for remaining tumor cells and ideally eliminate the tumor cells,” Sahin explained.
Keunssberg asked the couple if there was “still a chance” that the cancer vaccine doesn’t work.” I don’t think so,” replied Tureci. “Everything we have learned about the immune system and about what we achieve with a cancer vaccine shows, in principle, the clear activity — we can induce those killer T-cells, we can direct them.” “Every step and every patient we treat in these cancer trials helps us to understand more about what we are against and how to address that,” said Tureci.
About BioNTech
The scientist couple, Professor Ozlem Tureci and Dr. Ugur Sahin cofounded BioNTech. It is the company that partnered which Pfizer to provide one of the most effective covid vaccines. To explain the working of the covid 19 vaccine, Sahin said
“We are a next-generation immunotherapy company,” Sahin told CNBC’s “Power Lunch” on Tuesday. “The technology behind this vaccine, the messenger RNA technology, and the vaccine candidates have been developed in Germany.”
Sahin went on to explain that BioNTech “took care of the manufacturing of the batches for the clinical trial.” BioNTech also specializes in T-cell, a key part of the immune system, and “investigated the T-cell immune responses for this vaccine,” according to its chief.
