  • Great content, can’t understand

    Great selection of papers

    The lady with the accent is very difficult to understand. She needs to speak slower, at times she speeds up and I cannot follow what she is saying. I am speaking for a lot of people probably too

    Please slow it down and also try to speak about limitations in the studies more frequently

  • Love love love this podcast.

    The content is solid and I garner new insight from every episode. Even though I focus mostly on immunooncology, I appreciate the wide diversity of the topics covered as they expand my thinking about cancer into directions I might not have gone otherwise. I look forward to long road trips catching up on old episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 126: “Functional Oncogenomics” Featuring Dr. Daniel Peeper
Q: What are the main pathways that influence tumor sensitivity to immunotherapy according to the guest?
Main pathways include the antigen presentation machinery, interferon gamma signaling (with a complex impact), TNF signaling, and autophagy, with TNF and interferon gamma showing the strongest and most reproducible effects across in vitro and in vivo settings.
Ep. 126: “Functional Oncogenomics” Featuring Dr. Daniel Peeper
Q: What makes functional genetics different from traditional genomic screens?
Functional genetic screens test causality by knocking out (or activating) genes across the genome and observing direct effects on cellular phenotypes, such as tumor cell sensitivity to T-cell killing, which helps identify targets with real mechanistic roles rather than mere correlations.
Ep. 124: “HIV Latency” Featuring Dr. Sharon Lewin
Q: What do you think is going to work for a cure?
Various approaches are being tested including immunotherapy and gene therapy to activate latent HIV and allow for immune clearance.
Ep. 124: “HIV Latency” Featuring Dr. Sharon Lewin
Q: Why is it so hard to cure HIV?
HIV integrates into the host genome and goes into a latent state within CD4 T cells, which makes it difficult to eliminate fully.
Ep. 123: “Immunological Memory” Featuring Dr. Rafi Ahmed
Q: So how does that differ from acute infection?
Dr. Ahmed highlights that chronic infections lead to immune exhaustion, where T cells become less functional despite their presence, differing from responses observed in acute infections.
