HAMLET (protein complex)
In 1995, Håkansson found an isolated compound in a fraction of human milk that induced what appeared to be apoptosis in human lung carcinoma, pneumococcal bacteria and other pathogens, leaving healthy cells unaffected. It was the perfect cure in that case. The Vice President of the American Cancer Society traveled to Sweden and awarded them a grant to continue researching cancer. The company HAMLET Pharma was created to explore the compound.
