1 Year Later: UNF Researchers’ Patented Cancer-Fighting Compound

The University of North Florida cancer researchers are back, as you’ve been with me through 1 YEAR of uplifting and inspiring stories on Discover the Joy: The Purdy Podcast. 

The innovation and determination of DRS. BRIAN KNUCKLEY, FATIMA REHMAN & COREY CAUSEY gained 14,000+ VIEWS when they explained 10 month ago, how their creation selectively causes cancer cells to explode with little to no effect on healthy cells.

UPDATE: Not only does their compound work — it’s also protected with patents for both its structure and function. The team reveals how they’re gearing up for animal studies this fall, with support from healthcare partnerships and a generous innovation grant fueling their journey.  They’re refining production and ensuring the compound’s efficiency — all while navigating the complex path toward clinical trials, which could begin within five to ten years.

And there’s more!  Dr. Rehman gives us a one-on-one update on her own cancer diagnosis and the clinical trials she participated in!
