WASHINGTON - A year and a half after she moved to the United States to start work on a cancer vaccine, Dr Noor Faezzah Baharom received the news that her father had been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
His battle with cancer and death in March this year, just over a year after his diagnosis in December 2018, strengthened her resolve to research and develop a cancer vaccine in the hopes of helping other patients.
