Recorded during our visit to the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation in Pittsburgh, PA, this week’s episode marks the first in a series that will be released over the coming weeks. In today’s instalment, we take a close look at the groundbreaking research occurring at this remarkable institute by interviewing Investigators Dr. Steffi Oesterreich and Dr. Adrian Lee, and CEO Michael Annichine regarding their work there.Episode Highlights:-The important role that advocacy groups play-Clinical trials and the need to promote them-The ever evolving use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in research-The importance of data sharing among researchersQuotes:“We’re not treating a disease, we’re treating patients.”“Let’s hear from those patients as we take that journey with them, not for them.”“They have a passion to make a difference.”“We need to promote things like being on clinical trials.”“Breast cancer has been a trailblazer for new therapies, new diagnoses, new treatments, and the outcomes have improved tremendously.”“We think when they leave the lab... that they really understand breast cancer as a whole and not just here’s the cell and the gene.”“5 years from now things will have changed so much.”“Let go of feeling like you need to be in control, because the science is moving so quickly, and we’re all trying to figure it out.”“We should all share all our data…we should put it out there because others will make use of it.”Links:Surviving Breast Cancer homepage: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation: https://mageewomens.org/
