The team of scientists that developed the Pfizer Piontech vaccine against Covid-19 expects that a cancer vaccine will become available by 2030. The British newspaper, "The Sun" quoted doctors Ugur Şahin and Ozlim Torici as saying that the development and success of the Corona virus vaccine "strengthened their work on a cancer vaccine." ".
"We have learned how to make vaccines better and faster. We have also learned how the immune system reacts," said German Professor Torrichi. "This will certainly speed up our vaccine against cancer." "As scientists, we always hesitate to say that we will have a cure for cancer...but we have achieved a number of things so far and we will continue to work on them."
For his part, Dr. Shaheen answered a question about when cancer vaccines will be available, saying: "This may happen before 2030." It is noteworthy that the two married scientists, Shaheen and Torici, co-founded the company "BioNTech" in Germany in 2008, and worked together to develop immunotherapies for cancer using "mRNA" technology.
After the spread of "Covid-19" around the world two years ago, "Biontech" entered into a partnership with the American "Pfizer" to develop a vaccine against the virus based on the same technology. The "mRNA" technology works by sending "instructions" or "a blueprint" to cells to produce what is scientifically known as an "antigen" or "antigen".
