Leveraging the immune system to fight cancer--biotech's future
Inventors are using small-scale biology and engineering to find ways to use the body's natural defenses to effectively treat cancer. NSF-funded small business GigaGen uses microfluidics, bioinformatics and genome sequencing to look for antibodies that may be good candidates for new therapies. GigaGen's David Johnson explained how at the 2014 BIO International Convention.
