Summary

In this episode, we connect with Clair Gardiner to discuss how cancer cells and electrical currents interact for potential new therapies. As a Professor in Immunology at Trinity College Dublin, Clair has a background working with special types of immune cells called "natural killers" – a name that reflects its ability to kill cancer cells…

Clair and her research team are on a mission to revolutionize cancer treatment. They are at the forefront of developing new forms of immunotherapy that could potentially change the game for people living with aggressive brain tumors such as glioblastoma. If you're curious about how these groundbreaking findings may open the door to new combined therapies, this discussion is a must-listen!

Join us now to learn about:

  • Exciting developments in immunotherapy. 
  • Treatments that have been created for serious cancer cases. 
  • Why conventional cancer therapies are so tricky.
  • What the blood-brain barrier is, and the problems it poses to cancer patients.

Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Finding Genius Podcast.

0:41.0

I'm speaking to Claire Gardner, she is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Immunology

0:47.4

at Trinity College in Dublin, and we had to talk about cancer cells and electrical currents

0:52.2

and how the two may interact for new therapies.

0:55.2

So welcome Claire, thank you for coming.

0:57.0

Yes, it's great to be here, so thank you for the invitation.

0:59.7

I know from. So tell me a bit about your background, how you came to this area in the first place.

1:04.0

I'm an immunologist so I'd always worked on a very special type of immune cell.

1:10.0

It's called a natural killer so it's got a great name and it was given that name because it's really good at actually killing cancer cells

1:18.0

So I've worked on that from very very long time ago it feels and it's really cool because it kills cancer cells and you can

1:27.7

1:35.0

That's really cool.

1:36.0

And what is this new?

1:37.5

I just got the hint of what it's about, but electric currents and cancer cells.
