My name is PIT, Hydro-PIT. I am totally JAWsome and you are totally FINished.
This claymation embodies photoimmunotherapy, a new approach to cancer treatment, by chronicling the story of Hydro-PIT, a goldfish-shark superhero with a mission to defeat supervillain Dr. Klaws.

Hydro-PIT captures the photoimmunotherapy approach to curing cancer. Hydro is a mild-mannered goldfish in ordinary life; however, on sighting the evil Dr. Klaws (i.e. cancer) wreaking havoc, she becomes PIT, a powerful shark who fights to defeat him.
