Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow, host Angela Gill Nelms talks with Dr. Johnna Temenoff, professor of biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory, about reprogramming a patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer. You'll hear why producing enough immune cells is a crucial part of making these treatments accessible, and how experts in from fields ranging from insurance billing to supply chains are helping solve problems scientists can't tackle alone.\nYou'll also hear the story of a participant in an early cancer cell therapy trial who is still alive more than a decade later, living well and watching their grandchildren grow up. It's a powerful reminder of what's possible when bold ideas receive the time and investment they need.\n \nDr. Temenoff reflects on the experiences that inspired her career and why solving healthcare's biggest challenges requires collaboration far beyond the laboratory.\n \nLearn More About Johnna Temenoff\nJohnna Temenoff's Website\nJohnna Temenoff's Linkedin\nMentioned in this Episode\nMarcus Center of Excellence for Cell Biomanufacturing\nQuebec ice hotel\nSupport Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs – Donate Today: \nIf you want to support the research you heard about on today’s episode, consider a donation to the Wallace H.
