We are delighted to announce that Professor John Crown has recently launched a podcast interviewing stalwarts in cancer research both locally and globally.
First up, is an interview with Dr. Dennis Slamon, an American oncologist and chief of the division of Hematology-Oncology at UCLCA. Dr Slamon is best known for his work identifying the HER2/neu oncogene that is amplified in 25–33% of breast cancer patients and the resulting treatment trastuzumab or Herceptin.
A long time friend and colleague of Prof Crown and the recipient of the Irish Presidential Distinguished Service Award in 2020 for his work in Science, Technology & Innovation, Dr Slamon has had a great impact on cancer research not only in the US but here in Ireland. Thousands of patients owe their lives to his efforts.
