Summary

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman discuss the complexities of cancer with Dr. Joe Zundell, a cancer biologist. They explore the definition of cancer, its prevalence, and the hallmarks that characterize cancer cells. The conversation delves into the mechanisms of cancer growth, including sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppression through the P53 gene, and the process of apoptosis. The discussion aims to make these complex topics accessible to a broader audience while highlighting the importance of understanding cancer biology. In this conversation, Dr. Joe Zundell discusses the complexities of cancer biology, focusing on key hallmarks such as immune response, replicative immortality, angiogenesis, and metastasis. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and the challenges of targeting cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. The discussion highlights the need for careful consideration of information regarding cancer treatment and the significance of working with healthcare professionals.

0:00.0	You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
0:26.9	Welcome to Unbiased Science, where we bring scientific method to the madness.
0:31.5	We're hosts Dr. Jess Steyer and Dr. Sarah Scheidman.
0:39.8	And this week, we are tackling a topic that people ask about constantly in all different contexts, but the Big C, cancer. And we are joined by none other than the Cancer Daddy, Dr. Joe Zundell.
0:48.7	You do go by Cancer Daddy, right? Am I making that up?
0:51.7	No, you're not. First, thanks for having me. The nickname actually came from Max Lugavir, believe it or not, which, you know, it kind of stuck. He was just joking around. He said, you know, there's people like in the wellness space that are like wellness daddy. Luke Cook is considered wellness daddy. Oh, my God. And he just started calling me cancer daddy and he said it in a public platform.
1:13.1	And, you know, when you have a million followers, then suddenly everyone just starts calling
1:17.2	you cancer daddy and it was really fun.
1:18.9	Is that your Twitter handle?
1:21.3	No, it's first of all, I, yeah, I'm horrible with Twitter X or whatever anyways, but it's,
1:26.8	you know, it probably should be cancer daddy.
1:30.5	Well, anyway, so let me read this very impressive bio for Dr. Joe Zundel.
1:36.0	So, and can I call you Joe for the purpose of this episode?
1:39.1	Yeah, I usually ask people to call me Joe anyways.
1:42.0	Cool.
1:42.8	So Joe is a well-published, that's an understatement,
1:46.1	and well-trained cancer biologist. His research focus up until now has primarily been to
1:51.7	understand the metabolic, epigenetic, and therapeutic strategies for a number of cancers,
1:56.7	including blood-based cancers like leukemia's and breast, ovarian, liver, and more.
2:02.2	Joe is a wet lab scientist, which means that he spends most of his time in a lab working
2:07.5	with diverse cancer cell types and animal models to better understand and treat human cancers.
2:13.6	Currently, Joe is working at a startup biotech company investigating the potential for targeted
