  • 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.

Protecting the Brain After Stroke
Q: What are the primary endpoints for the phase 3 study and how did the phase 2 study inform that design?
The phase 3 study will use the modified Rankin Scale (0-6) with a dichotomized outcome (good vs bad). Phase 2 data showed correlations between infarct volume stability and 90-day functional outcomes, and the design will focus on patients within 12 hours of stroke to maximize potential benefit and speed regulatory approval.
Protecting the Brain After Stroke
Q: What is RNS-60 and how does it work?
RNS-60 is an oxygenated saline solution produced by saturating saline with oxygen to around 60 mg/L. Beyond simply delivering oxygen, it activates pro-survival pathways and helps maintain mitochondrial function and structure in stressed brain cells, which can mitigate infarct progression after a stroke.
Turning the Thymus into an Engine of Immune Tolerance in T1D and Beyond
Q: And how are you thinking about demonstrating disease modification rather than just symptom control?
By tracking C-peptide levels as a surrogate for preserved beta-cell function, alongside biomarker changes in T-cell populations, to show durable immune modulation beyond symptom control.
Turning the Thymus into an Engine of Immune Tolerance in T1D and Beyond
Q: Perhaps we can start with the thymus gland. What role does it play in the immune system?
The thymus trains T cells and creates regulatory T cells (Tregs) that help suppress immune attacks, enabling antigen-specific tolerance rather than broad immunosuppression.
Unlocking Major Targets with Mini Proteins
Q: How does AI contribute to your design and screening process?
AI assists from target selection to backbone design and sequence optimization, allowing systematic scoring of targets, rapid generation of candidate designs, and integration with folding prediction tools to triage vast libraries before experimental testing.
