NEWS RELEASE

Rice bioengineers shed light on dosing challenges for cancer immunotherapy
A team of Rice bioengineers has developed a mathematical model that clarifies why interleukin-12 — a potent immune-boosting protein that holds promise for cancer treatment — loses effectiveness over time when used as an immunotherapeutic. The research challenges long-held assumptions about IL-12's behavior in the body and offers a path toward safer and more effective dosing regimens.
