When Vice President Joe Biden's son, Beau, died of a brain tumor in May 2015, the Vice President's grief was profound. Yet, his grief generated an idea, a big idea: Let's collaborate and focus the talent and resources in our country to eliminate cancer as we know it. When Vice President Biden shared his idea with President Barack Obama in the fall of 2015, not only did President Obama endorse the idea, he announced the National Cancer Moonshot Initiative during his January 2016 State of the Union Address. The goal is to double progress against cancer and break down silos that prevent science and industry from working together. The initiative centers around the development and implementation of new vaccine-based immunotherapies to target individual tumors based on their genomic signature.
2015年5月，副总统乔·拜登的儿子博死于脑瘤，副总统悲痛万分。然而，他的悲痛催生了一个想法，一个伟大的想法：让我们携手合作，集中我国的人才和资源，消除我们所知的癌症。2015年秋天，拜登副总统与巴拉克·奥巴马总统分享了他的想法，奥巴马总统不仅认可了这个想法，还在2016年1月的国情咨文中宣布了“国家癌症登月计划”。其目标是将抗癌进展提高一倍，并打破阻碍科学界和产业界合作的壁垒。该计划围绕着开发和实施基于新疫苗的免疫疗法展开，以根据个体肿瘤的基因组特征来靶向治疗。
