Precise Cancer Cell Targeting-Without Harming Healthy Cells.
Traditional cancer treatments are like blunt tools—damaging healthy cells and delivering inconsistent results. Even modern immunotherapies often fail to generate a strong,
lasting response.

Why? Because cancer hides in plain sight. It starts as healthy tissue, making it nearly invisible to the immune system.

Our nanoparticles deliver smart mRNA instructions that force cancer cells to express viral proteins (like measles). The immune system, already trained to eliminate these, reacts immediately—while leaving healthy cells untouched.

*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.

Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive non-bonus share perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those non-bonus share perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account.
