What happens when a pioneering oncologist and a next-generation immunotherapy researcher sit down to talk about the future of cancer care?

In the newest episode of All Things Cancer, NFCR President and CEO Dr. Sujuan Ba brings together Dr. Brian Leyland-Jones, longtime NFCR medical advisor, and Dr. Avery Posey, an NFCR-supported scientist at the University of Pennsylvania developing CAR-T therapies for solid tumors.

Together, they explore how far we’ve come—from chemotherapy to CRISPR—and how collaboration across generations is shaping what’s next in cancer research.
