We cross the pond for this episode, which focuses on CAR-T cell therapy. Join us to meet Raquel Munoz and learn about what she thinks will be the future of cancer research.

We open season two of Absolute Gene-ius with two guests sharing their collaborative work in reproductive biology aimed at understanding the role of RNA degradation in oocytes. They share insights on how oocytes are so unique, why they’re so important, and how better understanding them can provide insights to improve women’s health and lead to potential therapies. Join us to meet this interesting couple and hear how they’ve built a marriage in reproductive science.

Jordan and Cassie are back in the sound lab and teasing us with a glimpse into the second season of Absolute Gene-ius. Get a taste of the great dPCR research topics to come in upcoming episodes, and enjoy the fun energy that’s always baked in.
