A Personal Quest to Find a Cure for Cancer

Thursday, January 03, 2008

Dr. Mark Davis was enjoying a successful career as a chemical engineer, until his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Now, ten years later, he’s created a revolutionary nanoparticle drug that has reversed terminal cancer in one test patient. This story is featured in "Curious," a series co-produced by Thirteen/WNET. Dr. Davis is joined by series producer Mark Mannucci and Ray Natha, the cancer patient featured in the story.

    So glad to hear you are reporting on issues like this new cancer therapy, new public tv series and also the grossly underreported humanitarian crises around the world. Thank you!
