Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arthritis: uncovering pathways to better treatment
Q: What have you discovered about rheumatoid arthritis from these joint samples, and how might that inform new treatments?
Early-stage data point to dysregulated, clonally expanded killer CD8 T cells playing a role in flares, with sequential samples helping identify consistent changes that could guide targeted therapies and biomarkers.
Arthritis: uncovering pathways to better treatment
Q: Can you give us an example of what happens when a patient with rheumatoid arthritis presents to the clinic to have their knee aspirated?
Clinicians collect synovial fluid and blood within about an hour from aspiration, processing these samples quickly to preserve quality for biobanking and research, enabling study of cellular changes during flares.
Liver cancer: discovering the next generation of therapy targets
Q: How are you now targeting these signatures that you've discovered to develop better treatments?
We are working on biologics to block communication between cancer cells and the microenvironment and exploring mRNA vaccines to target only these fetal antigens in tumors.
Liver cancer: discovering the next generation of therapy targets
Q: What is that level of detail allowing us to understand about cancers, and how is that improving how we're thinking about treating them?
We can understand how two different cancers or two patients' tumor are different from each other and why some patients respond better to therapies than others.
Liver cancer: discovering the next generation of therapy targets
Q: What drew you to cancer research and specifically liver?
I was fascinated by how some cells in our body just go rogue and develop cancer due to mutations in genes.
