It has now been just over eight years since three Portuguese medical researchers packed their bags and moved to Lund. They brought with them ideas for a new type of immunotherapy with the potential to fight all kinds of solid tumours, and thereby go a step further than the therapies available today.
A challenge for immunotherapies in cancer treatment is that tumour cells have the ability to make themselves invisible to the immune system. They hide from the T cells — the killer cells — whose job is to eliminate them. But the three researchers had discovered a way to get around that.
