Carl June

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

132501Carl H. Junehttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Carl_H._June%2C_M.D._%282015%29.JPGCarl June is a hero not because of the awards he has won, because of how he won them. Carl has been working on a T-Cell to fight cancer and leave the good cells untouched and found a way to slow down the effects of cancer and tumors. Carl June's work helps everyone in the present day and in the future and he used the work of coding a protein differently. Carl’s entire life has been studying cancer and how the cell acts and what it is weak to. Carl June, through persistence and heroism, has made a potential cure for cancer and save countless lives and will continue to save lives for years.

Carl June, through hard work and determination, created a gene rework for T-Cells so they can fight cancer and cure it. Carl June has been studying cancer and studies for HIV “Dr. Carl H. June is a physician specializing in cancer and HIV research and immunology. June has helped develop a gene therapy treatment harnessing the power of the body's own immune system to fight against cancer cells.”(Carl H. June.) Dr. Carl June has been researching cancer and how to help cure it his entire life showing dedication and determination since he has been working on it for his entire life. This is one reason why he is known as a hero. He constantly studies and he learns from the mistakes and the past and all of the data collected and uses that to move forward. Through the struggles, “The team also disrupted a protein called PD-1, which normally holds immune responses in check. The cells slowed the growth of human tumors implanted into mice. Further testing of immune responses should be carried out in non-human primates” Carl and his team may or may not have accidentally disrupted the protein, but they found a way to work around that helping them in their experiment to cure the tumor and to cure cancer. They found a way to overcome a struggle and mishap of reworking a protein gene and they used it to slow down cancer and kill it. He also worked around a problem turning out to help them out instead of making it harder to solve cancer. Carl June is known as a hero for finding a way around his problems and his determination to cure cancer, he has been studying cancer his whole life showing hard work and determination. He also worked around a problem turning out to help them out instead of making it harder to solve cancer. Carl June is considered a hero for finding a way around his problems and his determination to cure cancer.

He is respected because he had modified T-Cells only to fight the bad cells and leave the good ones untouched. Carl June has made a breakthrough in our current world today, They look at past work and use it to influence their current work “Previous work has shown that engineered T cells called CAR-T cells can be taken from a patient and modified to kill some types of tumor, but the supply can be limited”  They took their past work and they had used modified versions to take the CAR-T Cells and program them to kill different types of tumors. For a team to be successful you need communication and you need to talk about the situation“ We also discuss rational strategies to adjust and expand the therapeutic window for effective and safe targeting of solid tumors by CAR T cell platforms.” To discuss things with your team, it brings them together and they all can discuss and work together to solve the problem faster. Carl and his team work together to make proteins and work around their mistakes and they ended up doing something good and they slowed down the tumors. That is an example of heroism and not letting obstacles stand in your way.

My hero is respected and honorable for creating a reworked genome sequence for T-Cells to fight the cancer cells and leave the good and useful cells untouched. Carl June doesn't do it for money or fame and he makes books and manuscripts about his work teaching it to other people on how his T-Cell works and how he made it. That is why Carl June is an inspiration, he persevered through his struggles and ended up making the cure for cancer.
