By understanding how cancer cells and electrical currents interact, can scientists create new cutting-edge therapies? Could this be a new age of cancer treatment? In today’s episode, we chat with Clair Gardiner to get a closer look…

Clair is a Professor of Immunology at Trinity College Dublin who works with special types of immune cells called “natural killers.” Also known as NK cells, these are white blood cells that destroy infected and diseased cells, like cancer cells – and if caught in the early stages, maybe even prevent the spread.

Clair and her research team are at the forefront of developing new forms of immunotherapy that could change the game for people living with aggressive brain tumors such as glioblastoma. Want to learn how these groundbreaking findings may pave the way for new combined therapies? Listen in now!

In this conversation, we explore:

  • What immunotherapy is, and the latest discoveries.
  • How serious cancer cases are currently being treated.
  • How scientists overcome complications associated with the blood-brain barrier.
