      The company I am working at kills patients cancers using a treatment called TIL therapy. This is where we take the cancer tumours, find the T-cells that have found their way to the cancer to try and kill it, grow these T-cells up to billions of cells and then give them back to the patient. The treatment works in about 50% of patients, which is actually really good response rate.
