Barry Stoddard, a Fred Hutch protein engineer, got involved in a research project to modify a protein from yeast for possible use as part of a targeted cancer therapy. The modified protein was the brainchild of Washington State University biologist Margaret Black, who recognized that, with a few tweaks, this natural molecule could have potent anti-tumor power.

The Cancer That Felled John McCain: "... Glioblastoma is very difficult to completely remove surgically because it is so diffuse in the brain. The blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain and its associated fluid, limits the drugs that can reach tumors, and glioblastoma is resistant even to those drugs that can get in."
