Turning Lab Discoveries into Cancer Diagnostics — A Conversation with Dr. Jessica Winter
Office Hours with Liz Wayne
In this episode of Office Hours with Liz Wayne, I converse with Dr. Jessica Winter, a leading expert in chemical and biomedical engineering. We explore her journey from academia to tackling cancer diagnostics, particularly the innovative use of quantum dots in detecting blood cancers. Dr. Winter shares her personal experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer, which intensified her commitment to advancing diagnostic technologies. We discuss the importance of early detection in improving patient outcomes and the complexities of translating lab discoveries into real-world applications. Join us as we delve into the intersection of research, clinical practice, and the profound impact of biomedical engineering on society.
