Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow, Angela Gill Nelms talks with Dr. Ankur Singh about cancer, immunotherapy, healthy aging, and the future of personalized medicine. Learn how scientists are building miniature human immune systems in the lab to better understand disease, predict treatment responses, and accelerate the development of new therapies.\n \nDr. Singh also shares two remarkable breakthroughs from his lab, including a new way to predict how cancer survivors may respond to future infections and a discovery that could help restore youthful function to aging immune cells.\n \nAlong the way, you'll hear how an aspiring liquor baron became a biomedical engineer, why he runs five miles in every new city he visits, and how science may help us live longer, healthier lives.\n \nTopics: Cancer • Immunotherapy • Immune System • Healthy Aging • Longevity • Personalized Medicine • Biotechnology • Biomedical Engineering • Healthcare Innovation\n \nLearn More About Ankur Singh:\nAnkur Singh's Linkedin\nAnkur Singh’s Lab website\nAnkur Singh’s Instagram\nMentioned in This Episode:\nDr. Jean Koff, Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University\nAnkur Singh talks about President Biden’s cancer diagnosis\nGeorgia Tech Paradigm Shifters featuring Ankur Singh\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.
