Is Agent EBV the best weapon to help the immune system fight cancer?

Find out what EBV has to do with cancer and how you can help crowd fund vital research https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ag... Around 9 in 10 people are carriers of the Epstein-Barr Virus, or EBV for short. And on the whole, the vast majority of us experience no problems with being infected.But in some cases the virus can show a darker side. EBV causes an estimated 200,000 cases of cancer across the world each year, and our third team of crowdfunding hopefuls is trying to put a stop to that. Led by Drs Neil Steven, Graham Taylor and Professor Alan Rickinson from the University of Birmingham, this team is working on a vaccine, which it hopes will be able to treat these EBV-linked cancers by boosting the immune response. And the team are already some way along the road to their goal, having established an early stage clinical trial of the vaccine they have developed. Now they need your help to set up some advanced technology in the lab that will enable them to accurately read the huge amounts of the genetic data that the trial will generate. Sound interesting?
