Bridging Cancer Research and Neurological Discoveries: A Deep Dive with Dr. Ignaty Leshchiner
Manage episode 411561461 series 3557210
In this compelling episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal is joined by Dr. Ignaty Leshchiner, Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and a 2024 Toffler Scholar.
Dr. Leshchiner, a pioneer in computational biology and cancer bioinformatics, explores the intricate relationship between cancer research and brain disease studies. His insights delve into groundbreaking methodologies for non-invasive cancer detection, the challenges in treating brain tumors, and the potential for early diagnosis of neurological diseases through advanced blood tests.
Key Topics Discussed:
- The Intersection of Cancer Research and Neurology: Dr. Leshchiner's work on connecting cancer bioinformatics with the study of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's and dementia.
- Innovations in Non-Invasive Cancer Detection: An overview of the promising methodologies for detecting and monitoring tumors without the need for invasive biopsies, emphasizing the role of circulating nucleic acids.
- Challenges in Treating Brain Tumors: A discussion on the difficulties of biopsy and treatment of brain tumors, focusing on glioblastoma, and the development of methodologies for sampling tumors in a non-invasive way.
- Early Detection and Monitoring of Disease: The potential of using blood tests for the early detection of cancer and neurological diseases, and how this approach could revolutionize the way these diseases are diagnosed and treated.
- Personal Journey and Motivation: Dr. Leshchiner shares his personal connection to the field, driven by family experiences with cancer, and his journey towards pioneering research in computational biology.
- The Future of Disease Detection and Treatment: Dr. Leshchiner's optimistic outlook on the future of disease detection, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans enabled by his research.
