The 1980 Supreme Court case of Diamond v. Chakrabarty was
transformative for the biotechnology industry. It saw the Supreme
Court allow Ananda Chakrabarty s patents on living organisms, and
paved the way for commercial biotechnology. Decades later,
Chakrabarty is still an active researcher, and he is now working to
develop cancer therapeutics based on symbiotic bacteria. In Bugging
Cancer, Chakrabarty and his colleagues at the Chicago Oncogroup
have written a compelling dramatic thriller that portrays a
fictional story based on this real-life work. Bugging Cancer is a
fictional book, based on real scientific progress in using bacteria
and bacterial proteins to attack malignant tumor cells. Scientific
results are extended in a fictional way to describe the
cancer-fighting power of an imaginary bacterial protein termed
neelazin. The book also mirrors present-day issues, including
international competition for scientific talent, issues in patent
law, research ethics, and financing. Written by a team of seasoned
scientific and business professionals, Bugging Cancer is sure to
appeal to scientific researchers, patent attorneys, physicians, and
any anyone else interested in healthcare and scientific
innovation."
