Better. Stronger. Faster. Scientists Rebuild Cancer-Killing Cells

Eduardo Davila, PhD Season 1 Episode 6

This episode features a discussion about treating cancer through immunotherapy, including tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL, therapy. Our guest is Eduardo Davila, professor in the Division of Medical Oncology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Davila’s team has devised a novel technique to enhance all forms of cellular immunology. The scientists rejuvenate T-cells and improve their durability as well as their ability to find and kill cancer cells. Davila’s team’s research offers more and better cancer treatment options, along with hope.
