Public Outreach
American Cancer Society TheoryLab Podcast
Anthony discussed with Dr. Susanna Greer—Scientific Director, Clinical Cancer Research and Immunology, at the American Cancer Society-- how gene regulation impacts diseases such as cancer and virus infection (11:16 to end). In this conversation, he helps us understand why RNA is so important, what can happen when RNA regulation goes wrong, and how a deeper understanding of RNA could be critical to fighting cancer and COVID-19.
