"British Punjabi Doctor Heads Global Trial for Bowel Cancer Vaccine"
Dr. Tony Dhillon, a British Indian doctor, is leading the first international trial of a vaccine to fight bowel cancer, which is expected to last one year and involve 44 patients at 10 centers across the UK and Australia. The vaccine, designed by Imugene, aims to activate the immune system to kill the cancer and could potentially work in other cancer types as well. Dr. Dhillon's work on this vaccine represents a major breakthrough in bowel cancer treatment and is a source of pride for him as a second-generation Punjabi from a working-class family.
