Thanks for the shout-out! This grant will allow us to further develop our mRNA-based cancer vaccines for treating solid tumors including glioblastoma and breast cancer. Looking forward to continuing to collaborate with Shuming (BioE), Joseph (BioE), Xing (BioE), Wael (Carle)
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Hua Wang, who has earned $946,000 in funding as part of the American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award.
Wang's team is innovating in the medical space by developing mRNA-based cancer vaccines for treating solid tumors.

In this special issue, we highlight four areas – mechanically active biomaterials, materials that actively direct the host immune response (immunomaterials), materials designed to promote tissue repair and regeneration, and dynamic materials.

Bo et al. discuss how immunomaterials have enabled one to skip the lengthy and costly process of identifying tumor-specific antigens, by making use of the in situ generated tumor antigens to provoke potent effector T cell response.

Our lab had the honor & pleasure to host breast cancer survivors & warriors today. I always appreciate the conversation with the patient community and share with them the efforts we are making to advance novel cancer vaccines and immunotherapies to potential clinical translation.
