What is Virotherapy?
• New form of cancer treatment
• Utilizes viruses to target cancer cells
• Safer than modern cancer treatments
• Targeted treatment

Why Viruses?
• Common and well understood
• Natural
• Variety
• Size
• Programmable

Relation to Nanotech
• Size in Nanometers– Avg. 10 and 300 Nanometers
• Related to Gene Therapy
• Emphasis on DNA and proteins
• “Drug Delivery”

Interferon
• Present in healthy cell
• Prevents viral reproduction
• Alerts immune system
• Lacked by cancerous cells

Our Model
• Virus
• Normal Cell
• Cancerous Cell
![Page 9: Interferon and Virotherapy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081421/568157c2550346895dc54578/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Our Model
• Scale Disparity– Virus to Cell– Cancerous Cell
to Normal Cell
