Zheng Cui

Zheng Cui, MD PhD, is a biochemist currently serving as an Associate Professor of Pathology (Tumor Biology) at Wake Forest University. As an oncologist and a cancer researcher Cui has proposed the unique idea that certain individuals (estimated at 10% to 15% of the human population) naturally produce a special kind of white blood cell that contains an inherent resistance to cancer. This idea is extremely controversial within the cancer biology community. These white blood cells, in Cui's view, could potentially be extracted from donors and given to cancer victims, thus endowing them with cancer resistance. Cui's research seems to indicate that the resistance includes many types of cancer. Cui's research is based on experiments on mice. These experiments resulted in Cui being able to cure cancer in several otherwise terminally sick mice. Cui is proposing eventual experimentation of the technique on human subjects.
