Our National Critical Technology (NCT) category is Living Systems .
Our subcategory is Vaccines, a topic that we feel holds extreme importance both now and in the future of cancer patients.
Our technical application is Cervical Cancer Vaccines .
Problem:
People in developing countries are not able to treat cancer in the ways that we are. An HPV vaccination, which is much more easy to administer than chemotherapy, and also less expensive, is available, but is still too expensive for these people.
Solution:
Create an inexpensive and easy accessible vaccine for these people who do not have the accessibility to these vaccines in other countries.
