Guest: Dena Goffman, MD



Dr. Dena Goffman believes that better maternal care requires a proactive, system-wide approach and is making her vision a reality at NewYork-Presbyterian. She focuses on implementing guidelines that standardize care across all of NewYork-Presbyterian’s hospitals. Dr. Goffman has also aided in FDA approval and adoption of a new, ingenious hemorrhage tool and embraced simulations to train and improve the skills of healthcare professionals throughout the labor and delivery process. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price as she speaks with Dr. Dena Goffman, Vice Chair for Quality and Patient Safety and the Associate Chief and Quality Officer for Obstetrics for NewYork-Presbyterian, about how her work has helped establish goals and quality standards for safer labor and delivery.

Guest: Pierre Elias, MD



In this episode, you’ll gain insights into Dr. Elias’ innovative approach, integrating technology, data science, and medicine to develop algorithms that aim to enhance accuracy in predicting cardiovascular disease while allowing them to focus on providing personalized care to their patients. This could even help diagnose patients before symptoms occur. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price as she speaks with Dr. Pierre Elias, Medical Director of Artificial Intelligence at NewYork-Presbyterian, about the future of technology in medicine.

Guest: Arnaud Bourdin, MD, PhD



Since many severe asthma patients have been shown to have mucus plugs, it’s important to understand the role they plan in severe asthma. Join us as we discuss an exploratory study and the role of mucus plugging in severe asthma with Dr. Charles Turck and Professor Arnaud Bourdin. Professor Bourdin is the Head of Pulmonology at the Arnaud de Villeneuve Hospital in Montpellier, France.

Guest: Michael Kaplitt, MD, PhD



For the first time, Dr. Michael Kaplitt was able to perform a trial for a neurological gene therapy that was administered in a human patient to address damaged brain cells caused by Parkinson’s disease. This procedure used an adeno-associated virus to deliver a gene into the brain of a patient with Parkinson’s. The results were groundbreaking and paved new avenues for research in neurological gene therapy, such as preventative intervention. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price as she speaks with Dr. Michael Kaplitt, Executive Vice Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, as he discusses the story of his breakthrough and how he’s continuing to evolve the field of neurosurgery.

Guest: Christopher Petit, MD



Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare and challenging heart condition, which narrows blood vessels around the lungs and typically impacts newborn children. Historically, the rates of survival have been low, but with Dr. Petit leading the development of innovative techniques and treatments, the trajectory of patients’ lives could positively change. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price and Dr. Christopher Petit, Co-Director of Children’s Heart Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanely Children’s Hospital and Division Chief of Pediatric Cardiology at Columbia University, to discuss breakthroughs and treatments that are making a big impact on pediatric survival rates.

Guest: Conor Liston, MD, PhD



For patients diagnosed with depression for the first time the recommended course of treatment is the same; however, there’s a large patient population for whom these treatments won’t work. So it became increasingly important for Dr. Liston to map the brains of people suffering from major depression to see how it was impacting brain structures and symptoms. The research showed that certain networks expanded in the brains of patients who had depression and pushed into other networks. Learn more about identifying how these symptoms impact the patient’s brains, analyzing the best course for treatments, and how this research could be the key to effectively using transcranial magnetic stimulation to help patients with treatment-resistant depression. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price as she speaks with Dr. Conor Michael Liston, Psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, to discuss these approaches to help treatment-resistant depression.
