RETpositive celebrates the launch of The Susan Wojcicki Foundation, whose mission is to save lives by transforming early detection and prevention of lung cancer. We already collaborate with the foundation on the Lung Cancer Genetics Study, which aims to expand our understanding of how genetics influences lung cancer.

Using the same mRNA technology behind the Covid vaccine, the goal is to train the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This trial is currently enrolling at MD Anderson and select U.S. sites.
