  • Poor interviewing skills

    It is clear the host is just reading from a script. It’s very distracting the way he pauses in weird places in sentences. And then he essentially ignores what the guest is saying. No follow up questions, no listening, no semblance of conversation, just on to the next canned question. I suggest the host listens to his own interview with Kolluri—he rudely interrupts him several times, and for what reason? Simply to ask his next canned question! It’s so strange. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, bu... more

  • Too loud

    The content is interesting and it’s one of the podcasts I listen to most, but the advertisement and especially the jazz transition music is SO LOUD. When I’m driving and my hands are occupied, I actively cringe at the expectation of having my eardrums blasted when an episode begins or ends. When I’m not driving I try to skip ahead to the ~2 minute mark, because missing a bit of starting context from the actual show is worth preserving my hearing. Please make the audio levels consistent.

  • Not for physicians

    I’m a physician doing translational research in gene therapy. At least for the medical part the interviews discuss inaccurate information. For example there’s a talk where the interviewee says that in medicine therapy for most or all diseases are only symptom based “...such as diabetes and cancer...” which is absolutely wrong as especially in these diseases therapy starts as early as possible specifically to prevent symptoms. In addition there are some interviews where it seems that the members ... more

  • Paid for advertising?

    I can see the relevance for investors to hear these advertisements, however, as a scientist I fail to see the value.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Off-the-Shelf Cell Therapy to Calm Cytokine Storms
Q: Let's start with some basics. Mesenchymal stromal cells are at the core of your allergenic therapies. For listeners not familiar with these cells, what are they, and how do you obtain them?
They are immunomodulatory cells obtained from healthy donor bone marrow, expanded to large numbers through precise manufacturing, and then stored as well-characterized vials that can be shipped for IV infusion to patients.
Slowing Disability in MS
Q: What is multiple sclerosis and what's happening at a biological level?
MS involves relapsing inflammation and progressive neurodegeneration; Immunic aims to target both by using a NO1 activator to protect neurons and DHODH inhibition to dampen excessive immune activity, addressing both inflammation and degeneration.
Intercepting Cancer When DNA Surveillance Fails
Q: What evidence supports safety and efficacy of NUS209 to date?
Clinical data across nearly 200 patients show that the vaccine induces durable, tumor-targeted T cell responses with manageable safety, and correlations between immune responses and clinical outcomes have been observed, including some complete responses in trials.
Intercepting Cancer When DNA Surveillance Fails
Q: How do off-the-shelf and personalized vaccines differ, and what unifies them?
The unifying element is the platform based on the same viral vectors; off-the-shelf uses a common set of neoantigens, while personalized vaccines encode tumor-specific neoantigens for each patient, both aiming to induce strong, durable T cell responses.
Intercepting Cancer When DNA Surveillance Fails
Q: Why start with tumors characterized by high MSI and deficient DNA mismatch repair for a vaccine approach?
These tumors accumulate shared mutations that can be targeted by a universal vaccine, enabling an off-the-shelf product that educates the immune system broadly across many patients, while personalizing may be used in parallel for tumors with unique mutations.
