Imagine you turn the switch on and the cancer is gone…

Cancer is the second most common cause of death killing about 8.2 million people annually, which equals the total population of New York City. The global increase of cancer cases and the lack of highly specific therapies for various types of cancer states a clear message:
New approaches have to be found, which allow a level of precision in cancer treatment that has been long-awaited.

Our approach aims at achieving high spatiotemporal control of apoptosis in tumor cells by applying an optogenetic double-killswitch. This system combines clean removal of cancer cells through apoptosis with the accuracy of light-controlled optogenetics. We utilize two optogenetic proteins, to create the desperately needed holy grail of cancer therapy.
This is the goal of OPTOPTOSIS.

Special

Special Prices

We have done some really good work so we applied for these Special Prices:

Results and engineered constructs of OPTOPTOSIS

Our red switch operates as desired

  • we were able to show that our apoptosis protein is expressed
  • our testing cells are still alive

Our blue switch operates as desired when constitutively expressed

  • we were able to show that our construct is expressed
  • we assume that our construct binds to the outer mitochondrial membrane but are still testing it

The double transfection of our two constructs worked as desired

  • we were able to detect gene expression of both constructs in transfected cells
  • we were able to determine the expression of the red- switch
  • we have seen indications of induced apoptosis but will further validate it
