In his ACGT-funded study, Dr. Sena-Esteves explored how to use a viral strategy to create a zone of resistance in the brain where normal tissue could be modified to prevent tumors from growing, and ultimately, to destroy them. His studies revealed that adeno-associated viral vectors could do the job, but not without long-term toxicity consequences for cancer patients.
