S ynthetic\nbiology is playing a critical role in the creation of these ther apies.\nWe have shown that bacteria\, specifically _Salmonella_\, have thr ee\nmain qualities that enable them to overcome the limitations of\nchemot herapy. Bacteria 1) preferentially target tumors\, 2) penetrate\ntissue\, and 3) can kill non-mitotic cells.\n DTSTAMP:20250529T132602Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
