Our Project:

Lactococcus lactis is a safe gram positive bacterium that is highly amenable to genetic manipulation. It is possible to build L. lactis strains that can deliver proteins to the immune system to precisely influence the host immune response. We intend to build synthetic L. lactis strains which express tumor-specific antigens and which can be delivered orally to patients to boost cancer-specific immunity.
