  • 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.

Neutralizing Tumor Acidity to Improve Cancer Immunotherapy
Q: Why choose a transdermal approach over oral bicarbonate?
Transdermal delivery bypasses gastrointestinal side effects and adherence issues seen with oral bicarbonate, enabling higher and more reliable dosing to modulate tumor pH.
Neutralizing Tumor Acidity to Improve Cancer Immunotherapy
Q: How does an acidic tumor microenvironment suppress T cell activity and impact therapies?
Acidity impairs T cell effector function and activation, reduces cytokine signaling such as IL-2 and IFN-γ, and disrupts chemokine-driven T cell migration, effectively blunting the immune system's ability to infiltrate and attack tumors.
Resetting Severe Allergies at Their Cellular Source
Q: Let's start with the problem allergen is trying to solve. What's wrong with the current approaches to treating severe allergies and mast cell–mediated diseases?
Current therapies manage symptoms or modulate reactions on a lifelong basis, with no readily available treatment that addresses the root cause of the allergic and mast cell–driven disease, prompting a search for a true immune reset rather than ongoing stabilization.
Innovating ADCs with Dual Targeting and Smarter Delivery
Q: How do dual-targeting strategies affect safety versus efficacy in their programs NEOK 001 and NEOK 002?
001 is designed to be or-gated and can bind single antigens to drive activity on tumor cells with lower risk of toxicity, while 002 requires dual antigen expression for binding, aiming to restrict activity to tumor cells and potentially lower toxicity in healthy tissues.
Innovating ADCs with Dual Targeting and Smarter Delivery
Q: What differentiates NEOK Bio's bi-specific ADC platform from first-generation ADCs?
NEOK's platform uses antibodies that target two antigens instead of one, coupled with an advanced linker technology, while the payload remains topo-1-based; this dual targeting aims to improve tumor localization and internalization and reduce off-tumor toxicity.
