I'm currently developing T-Cell Engagers for solid tumors.  They are "eat me" signals that attach to cancer cells kill them.  It is a very simple concept but can easily kill someone if they bind to normal cells.

We make T-Cell Engagers that are inactive until they get to the tumor, reducing toxicity.

how do you ensure that the t cell engagers remain inactive until they reach target? is this type of treatment available to everyone, or is it still being tested?

Still in clinical trials.

Great question, proteases involved in cancer progression activate the drug, without those proteases and cancer cells it is inactive.

ok ok last question
do you think humans will ever "cure" cancer , or be able to prevent in en masse kinda like we did w polio?

Works for most solid tumors, for now we have clinical trials with breast, colon, and prostrate cancer but are working on more molecules that are applicable to more types.

thank you for doing what you do! 
is this treatment effective for all types of cancer , or just a few for now?
