BRI to Develop Breast Cancer Vaccine

The Baylor Research Institute has received a $300,000 grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure to fund the development of a breast cancer vaccine that uses cells from the body’s own immune system to treat patients with the disease.

Karolina Palucka, MD, PhD, is a cancer immunologist at Baylor Institute for Immunology Research (BIIR) and the lead investigator of the study. “The goal of this therapy is to stimulate the immune system to destroy breast cancer tumor cells throughout the body,” says Dr. Palucka. She also is appointed to the Michael A.E. Ramsay Chair for Cancer Immunology Research.
