They had been participating in the competition for four years conceptualizing cancer therapies but had never actually begun to create a business model for a therapeutic solution. Their only currently available business model was for custommune, a software tool for hotspot identification and epitope prediction. Our team includes Muhammad Hasan and Sawsan Ali, two team members from who have experience in preparing business models both our team members worked closely with Saif Wahba and Aly Morsy, 2 AFCM team members tasked with working on the business model. <br></br> | <p>During our first preliminary meetings with AFCM, we learned from them that they had always wanted to explore the entrepreneurial potential of their iGEM projects.
