Cancer affects millions worldwide, regardless of age, occupation, or background. It's a relentless adversary, challenging our understanding and defying our treatments. Yet, amidst the darkness, there’s hope—a relentless pursuit of answers by scientists like Dr. Zuzana Kečkéšová.
Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kečkéšová, a passionate cancer researcher with a background in virology, molecular biology, and genetic engineering. As a Group Leader at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry in Prague, and a former Postdoctoral Fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Dr. Kečkéšová brings a wealth of expertise to our discussion. Together, we confront the reality of cancer, exploring its stories, its science, and the ongoing battle against one of the greatest adversaries of our time.
Dr. Kečkéšová's lab is dedicated to uncovering new ways our cells naturally combat cancer, drawing insights from tissues and cell types resilient to tumor growth. Through rigorous experimentation and collaboration with experts worldwide, her team strives to develop innovative therapies that hold promise for the future.
Join us as we delve into the complexities of cancer biology and the quest for life-saving breakthroughs. Learn more about Dr. Kečkéšová's work on her lab's website, and follow her on LinkedIn.
