Dr. Frank Bedu-Addo, President and CEO of PDS Biotechnology, focuses on the challenge of cancer recurrence and the development of a targeted immunotherapy approach using nanoparticle technology. Their lead immunotherapy candidate is designed to train the immune system to detect and attack microscopic or undetectable cancer cells, prolonging survival by preventing recurrence. Early clinical results in cervical, head and neck, and other HPV 16-positive cancers have been promising, showing sustained immune response leading to long-lasting T cell memory.  Frank explains, "Recurrence of cancer after treatment is actually one of the bigger hurdles we face in successfully treating cancer. So, PDS Biotechnology, as you know, we have a sharp focus on advancing our targeted immunotherapy platforms to address significant unmet needs in treating cancer. And this is actually one of those key unmet needs in cancer today. The prevailing hypothesis on knowledge is that cancer treatment, whether it's done using radiation therapy or anti-cancer drugs such as chemotherapy, both methods actually work by destroying cancer cells or halting the growth."   "And so what may happen with time is that these remaining cancer cells may then grow until they can be detected or begin to cause symptoms. Now, even if the cancer has been removed by surgery, there is still a risk that some tiny microscopic cancer cells could still remain in the body. We would therefore expect the ideal immunotherapy to be able to detect these tiny microscopic cancer cells, even if they have spread to other parts of the body."  #PDSBiotech #Cancer #CancerVaccines #ImmunoOncology #CancerRecurrence PDSbiotech.com Listen to the podcast here

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, content creator and podcast host of her own YouTube channel called “From PTSD to a Graduate Degree', artist and creative, scientific innovator and revolutionary, my new friend, and a woman pushing the boundaries on overcoming fear and trauma: Amy BergerBorn on January 3, 1977, in Whitestone, NY, Amy emerged from a childhood shadowed by profound adversity. Raised in a severely dysfunctional home, Amy endured a mother's untreated PTSD and level 5 hoarding, alongside a father's emotional abuse and crack addiction. From ages 9 to 18, she suffered molestation by her half-brother, leaving deep emotional wounds that fueled fear, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and teenage prostitution as a desperate survival mechanism. “I was not okay,” Amy reflects, her early years saturated with terror and devoid of tools to navigate it.1999, a seismic shift occurred. Amy began recovering suppressed memories of additional sexual abuse by family members and babysitters, followed by revelations of ritual abuse and MK ULTRA This turning point split her life into two: before memories and after. Through years of trauma therapy, she pieced together her psychological architecture, confronting paralyzing terror and periods of disability that left her reliant on social security.Yet Amy's story is one of relentless resilience. A few years ago, seeking distraction from fear, she returned to school - a decision that transformed her life. Now a senior Biology major at Worcester State University, Amy is poised to pursue a double master's in Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence at WPI. Her ambition is laser-focused: to revolutionize synthetic biology by targeting the FAAH gene to eliminate the fear response at its genetic root. Inspired by the rare genetic mutation of Jo Cameron, who feels no pain or anxiety, Amy aims to rewrite the biochemical terms of terror, stripping away the leverage trauma and cult programming hold over survivors like herself.In her inspiring YouTube video series, From PTSD to a Graduate Degree, Amy shares her journey with raw honesty. “How do I do it?” she asks, detailing the scaffolding that supports her success: two trauma-specialized therapists, open communication with professors, healthy social connections, and a disciplined yet gentle study routine. Even on days when anxiety surges, Amy stays ahead, having only missed three classes in two years. Her scientific passion drives her to explore groundbreaking research, collaborating with AI to design a study on FAAH gene modulation to enhance fear extinction - a project she hopes to develop as a graduate thesis.Amy's vision is bold and personal: to create a world where no one feels the crippling fear she once did. Her journey from a shattered childhood to a pioneering scientist is a testament to the power of resilience, education, and an unwavering commitment to rewriting her story - and the future of human emotional experience. “I've come a tremendously long way,” she says on one of her YouTube videos, her voice a beacon of hope for others. With a groundbreaking study on FAAH gene modulation already taking shape, Amy isn't just healing herself - she's igniting a revolution, paving the way for a fearless future where every soul can find safety, stability, and boundless possibility - proving that even the deepest wounds can fuel extraordinary change.CONNECT WITH AMY: YouTube: @FromPTSDtoaGraduateDegree - Support the show

Plants are more than food, she says: They are living chemical factories churning out molecules that help plants do everything from adapting to climate change to fighting infections – or even producing valuable new cancer drugs. Lately, Sattely's lab is working on ways to make crops more resilient to engineer more sustainable foods and environments. Some of our most exciting technologies already exist in nature, we just have to find them, Sattely tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

July 15, 2025 | Are licensing fees required or gatekeeping? In this episode of The Chain, host Nimish Gera, vice president of Biologics at Mythic Therapeutics, and Ian Wilkinson, CEO of Gamma Proteins, discuss accessing antibody discovery technology through licensing fees and royalties—and whether these fees are justified or not. Wilkinson delves into the current landscape of antibody discovery technologies, including if AI-based technology warrants fees, how royalties affect both small companies and big pharma, and his background as one of the first experts in the field who offered purely free-for-service options. He also shares what excites him about antibody engineering and beyond. Links from this episode:  Mythic Therapeutics Gamma Proteins 

The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries?Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, program bacteria to clean oil spills, and edit genes with CRISPR technology. But who owns these inventions when they start reproducing themselves?From the landmark 1980 Chakrabarty decision that first allowed patents on genetically modified bacteria to the controversial Myriad Genetics case that determined human genes cannot be patented, we explore the fascinating legal battles that shaped biotech innovation. We journey through courtrooms worldwide where judges grappled with unprecedented questions: Can you patent a cloned sheep? Should farmers be allowed to replant patented seeds? Does traditional knowledge about medicinal plants deserve protection from corporate "biopiracy"?The legal landscape continues evolving, with a brand new WIPO treaty requiring disclosure of genetic resources' origins in patent applications. This represents a major shift toward transparency and fairness, especially for communities whose biodiversity and traditional knowledge have contributed to modern innovations.Whether you're a scientist, lawyer, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the legal frameworks governing emerging technologies, this episode offers crucial insights into how intellectual property systems are adapting to the brave new world where the line between invention and life itself becomes increasingly blurred.

On this week's Inside Startup Investing, Dr. Nicole Paulk—founder & CEO of Siren Biotechnology—details her AAV gene-therapy “FedEx truck” that can deliver anti-tumor cytokines directly to brain cancers. Early animal data show 86 % complete responses; the FDA has signaled a fast-track path for Siren's first-in-human trial set for 2026. With analog comps like Keytruda earning $30 B a year, Siren's upside—and impact—could be enormous.Highlights include...Why viruses? AAV viruses don't cause disease in humans yet efficiently deliver genetic payloads; Siren re-engineers them to express anti-tumor cytokines.Twin “firsts.” Siren pursues the first AAV-based cancer therapy and the first single virus platform scalable to hundreds of indications.Animal data. >500 mouse models show 86 % complete responses; large-animal pig study indicates strong safety with real-world neurosurgical delivery.Clinical plan. Combined Phase 1/2 trial in adults with recurrent high-grade gliomas targeted for 2026 with potential for rare-disease (orphan) fast-track.Market context. Current SOC for brain tumors is largely ineffective; analogous immunotherapies like Keytruda generate ~$30 B annually.

Marianne De Backer is the CEO of Vir Biotechnology, a company developing treatments that harness the power of the immune system to fight serious infectious diseases and cancer. Vir Biotechnology's current clinical trials include a registrational program in chronic hepatitis delta, a rare, often fatal liver disease, as well as two Phase 1 trials of PRO-XTEN™ dual-masked T-cell engagers (TCEs), one targeting HER-2 and the other targeting PSMA, each in heavily pre-treated cancer patients. TCEs have shown tremendous potential but have been limited due to toxicity challenges. The PRO-XTEN™ technology keeps the TCEs masked until they reach the tumor microenvironment, potentially mitigating the toxicity of TCEs and allowing them to unleash their tremendous potential to destroy cancer cells.  Marianne explains, “Vir Biotechnology is an immunology company, and that means that we are really developing treatments that take advantage of the power of basically the patient's own immune system to fight a variety of diseases. We have actually four clinical-stage programs in infectious disease and oncology, and a number of preclinical programs as well. And our most advanced program is to treat chronic hepatitis delta. That is actually a disease caused by a tiny virus, but it's causing liver cancer and is often fatal.” “We have recently initiated our registrational phase 3 program. It's called ECLIPSE. We had previously shown some very compelling data with one of our regimens for treating this disease. We're really excited about progressing that program. And the rest of our clinical pipeline includes a series of so-called PRO-XTEN™ masked T-cell engagers, or in short, TCEs, for the treatment of metastatic solid tumors.”   Vir Biotechnology has exclusive rights to the PRO-XTEN™ masking platform for oncology and infectious disease.

The gaps in women's healthcare can be addressed by the Gen Z listeners of this podcast! A professional polymath, Michal Morrison has spent her career bridging the past and present, business and impact. Holding degrees in History and English and a graduate degree in Theology, her academic foundation launched her into 10 years in archaeological and historical research across the Middle East and Mediterranean. She has worked for universities, environmental agencies, and a royal family on heritage protection projects and field research in Greece, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Ireland, and the Americas. A life-changing accident served as a catalyst for a significant career change, and in 2020 Michal founded her eponymous skincare company, Michal Morrison Inc., where she is proud to partner with global leaders from the fields of biotechnology, longevity, and beauty. Michal Morrison is an award-winning biomimetic skincare brand featuring a patented biotech breakthrough based in 25 years of research in regenerative medicine and stem cell science. As a survivor of a Traumatic Brain Injury, Michal believes that businesses should be catalysts for social change. She is dedicated to not only driving scientific innovation in the beauty industry, but to building a sustainably-minded brand that prioritizes accessibility. She launched her brand's social impact initiative, where they have partnered with One Mind, The Trevor Project, and the COPE Program in support of health equity within Indigenous communities. In episode 587 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Michal chose Texas A&M for her undergraduate experience, how her curiosity evolved into archaeological work, what are the unexpected lessons she learned from her time in international heritage work, how a Traumatic Brain Injury changed her career path, how to adapt with purpose, why she took the leap into biotech and beauty, what has been the most rewarding part of being a woman entrepreneur, how her company integrates purpose with profit, gaps in women's healthcare that Gen Z can address, and common fears or hurdles that young entrepreneurs face. Two books Michal recommended: "Raise Capital On Your Own Terms" and "Leap Frog". If they students are experiencing anxiety around life decisions, pick up "Don't Believe Everything You Think". It's been invaluable to Michal in learning how to have more control over her own occasional existential spirals and managing the 'what ifs' of life.

Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant tissues in the human body, representing approximately 40% of body weight. Under certain circumstances, skeletal muscle can be regenerated through satellite cells, a reservoir of quiescent muscle stem cells, that can be activated with injury or in certain diseases and give rise to newly formed multi-nucleated myotubes and myofibers. However, the regenerative potential of muscle is diminished or is completely absent in the course of normal aging, certain diseases, and space travel. For example, time spent in microgravity can have a profound impact on human physiology, especially the muscular system, as astronauts lose up to 20% of their lean muscle mass and up to half of their strength.  The identification of countermeasures against the effects of muscle regeneration, including microgravity, is an increasing priority for an aging population and continued space travel. Experiments in microgravity, conducted on the International Space Station, offer a unique opportunity to understand muscle regeneration and the effects of microgravity. Our guests today will discuss muscle regeneration, their muscle-on-a-chip platform that mimics salient aspects of impaired muscle regeneration, and the feasibility of drug screening in microgravity.GuestsNgan Huang, PhD, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University, USASoochi Kim, PhD, Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Korea University, KoreaHostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting ContentPaper link:  Skeletal muscle-on-a-chip in microgravity as a platform for regeneration modeling and drug screeningAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

In celebration of Pride Month, we're sharing two stories about coming out with the help of science. Part 1: After years of struggling with their gender identity, Parker Sublette finds inspiration in marine life. Part 2: Bullied as a kid for the sound of his voice, Garret Glinka begins to reclaim his confidence thanks to biology class. Parker Sublette is a comedian and speculative fiction writer living in Brooklyn, New York. She can usually be found scrambling around the city looking for any stage that will have her, or at home with her roommates and their two cats. Parker also sometimes hosts an open-mic in Bushwick, you can find her @parks_jokez on instagram. Garret Glinka: I wear two hats: one as a businessman with half a Master's in Business, and the other as a scientist, with another half in Biotechnology and Genomics, complemented by a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences. My background allows me to bridge the administrative and scientific worlds. Over the past six years, I've honed my expertise as a laboratory professional in both corporate and academic settings, helping operate and set up five laboratories domestically/internationally. I've been a technician, team leader, supervisor, and lab manager. As a member of the queer community, I bring kindness, authenticity, vulnerability, and positive influence to my leadership style. Now at Columbia University's Neuroscience Institute, I manage two labs, lead the Gender and Inclusion Mentoring Program, and coordinate the Lab Liaison Group, ensuring communication across the institute's departments and other lab managers. When I'm not dissecting Drosophila in New York City, or out to eat with Jersey City friends, I retreat to my family's farm in central New Jersey. There you'll find me tending to our goats and chickens, inspecting the crops, or racing dirt bikes with my three-year-old nephew, Jay. My life is a dynamic blend of science, leadership, community, and family, each enriching the other in unexpected ways. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
