Listen "Fast-tracking pediatric cancer care"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Georgina Barnabas and PhD candidate Tariq Bhat — from the Lange and Lim Labs at BCCHR — share how they used proteomics and a personalized tumour model to identify a treatment option for a child with hard-to-treat cancer, within just two weeks. Their story reveals how the latest precision approaches are identifying hidden vulnerabilities in aggressive childhood cancers and reshaping what's possible when conventional cancer treatments fail. It's a glimpse into a future where researchers and clinicians can respond as quickly and as personally as each diagnosis demands.Learn more about topics discussed in this episode:ACCESS websiteBRAvE websitePROFYLE websiteProteomics and personalized PDX models identify treatment for a progressive malignancy within an actionable timeframe, EMBO Molecular Medicine All episodes written and produced by the Research Communications team at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute.Theme music: "Life Is Beautiful" by Anastasia Kir
