Bacteria could be the answer to curing cancer, scientists say
Scientists are successfully experimenting with a creative approach to treat cancer by genetically programming bacteria to invade tumours and destroy cells from within.
I am a post-doctoral researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney. I work as part of a global research consortium which is aimed at re-engineering the entire yeast genetic code to further understand fundamental aspects of genetics and biochemistry, as well as enabling the sustainable production of bio-fuels and chemicals.
