Herceptin-a targeted antibody therapy for breast cancer

The 2019 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award honors Michael Shepard, Dennis Slamon, and Axel Ullrich for the invention of Herceptin, the first monoclonal antibody that blocks a cancer-causing protein, and for its development as a life-saving therapy for women with breast cancer.

I am so thankful for Herceptin. I've been on it since 2001. I've been able to see my 2 young children grow up and now have 2 beautiful granddaughters. 💕
