Rare Blood Cells

Welcome back MedTalkers! In this episode, we discuss the technology behind 3D printing organs and the research surrounding it. We also dive into some of the issues and limitations of 3D printing organs as well as some benefits and future potential. We hope you enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for the next one MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! Today we are discussing the topic of virtual reality and its applications in the medical field. From surgical utilization to patient treatment, we cover virtual reality's possibilities in the world of medicine. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more MedTalkers!

Hey MedTalkers! Welcome back to another episode. Today we are diving into the topic of personalized medicine! We will be talking about the possibility, practicality, and sustainability of personalized medicine while assessing its pros and cons. We also connect this topic to other biotech topics (such as CRISPR). We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, be sure to check out our other episodes! Thank you for listening, and we'll see you next time MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! We have a special episode for you today! We interviewed Sahar Jahanikia, a computational neuroscientist who used to work at Stanford University as both a researcher and a lab manager,  and we asked her some questions on her career, research, etc. Sorry about the background noise in the podcast; Sahar Jahanikia was at a science convention during the interview so you can hear some noise here and there, but we tried to minimize it as much as possible. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you have any suggestions for who we should interview next, please let us know! Stay tuned for more MedTalkers!

Hey MedTalkers! Welcome back to another episode. In this discussion, we focus on the cutting-edge technology of nanoparticles and how they are applied in the field medicine. We also touch on some aspects of engineering and how they relate to the computer science topics that surround nanoparticles when describing their functionality and practicality. Thank you for listening in and we hope to see you next time MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! In this episode, we explore the uses of a certain type of rare blood cell which makes up less than 1% of your blood. We also focus on the technology Stanford University has developed in order to isolate these cells for revolutionary medical purposes. This episode was based on an article that Stanford news published on May 23, 2022. Stay tuned and we hope to see you soon MedTalkers! Here is the link to the article if you are interested! https://news.stanford.edu/2022/05/23/magnetic-device-isolates-rarest-white-blood-cells/

Welcome back MedTalkers! In this episode, we talk about a common cancer paradox and the theories surrounding this mysterious phenomenon. We pose some interesting questions and brainstorm some ideas as to which of these theories might be most plausible as well as some of the applications of this paradox. We hope you enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for more MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! In this episode, we talk about the technologies that go into NeuraLink's neural chip. NeuraLink is Elon Musk's biotech company that works towards making strides in the neurotech field. We discuss this technology's practicality, ethics, and future potential, so we hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! Hope you are all doing well! This episode is a little bit different since we discuss a hypothetical question: what would happen if we live in a world where super bacteria invaded that were invincible to antibiotics? Hope you enjoy this sci-fi-type episode and stay tuned for next time when we talk about technologies like NeuraLink! Hope to see you again MedTalkers!

Welcome back MedTalkers! In this episode, we explore a sci-fi hypothetical scenario of being in a world where all the doctors were AIs instead. We then tie that into the concept of AI doctors in the real world and how real and close to achievable the idea may be. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more MedTalkers!
