I'm wondering if things like this can be done in Kickstarter?

Ideally a good idea ... but isn't this how the outbreak in I Am Legend start?

Welp, I see I'm too late for doing a good old-fashioned 'start-of-the-zombie-apocalypse' joke. I've no futher business here. Ta ta.

The trouble is, certain types of cancers have actually been confirmed to be
caused
by viruses (ala, the most common forms of cervical cancer), so using a virus to destroy tumour cells might turn out to be more of a double-edged sword (at the least, potentially worthless, or even downright counterproductive).
Still, this research is definetely encouraging, but until it's been actually tested to work in destroying cancer cells in living tissue (ala, human trials), I wouldn't hold my breath that this is the 'magic bullet' for cancer.

Well, that's just it. The £1 million is supposed to allow them to be able to have test cases for humans. I'm just curious if it will actually work. I'm sure there are a couple of people out there who would be willing to be test subjects for this.

Could go either way on Kickstarter. It doesn't technically fit their guidelines, but they do make execptions when they want to.

This research is encouraging, but there are a LOT of problems with oncolytic viruses that have not been worked out yet. Â It really isn't all about the money.
