This is very well-earned. mRNA vaccines are a huge medical breakthrough that we're just scratching the surface of. Personalized mRNA vaccines against pancreatic cancer have already started human trials that have put cancer into complete remission in most patients. I'm excited to see where this technology goes. Imagine cancer becoming something easily treatable with a simple course of vaccines.
