How immunotherapy could help us beat cancer | Deepta Bhattacharya | TEDxUArizona

Our immune system locks down intrusive agents to fight disease. And it’s capable of learning through exposure to fight new agents. But it could be better at stopping disease that our body creates by itself through mutation. Like cancers. At TEDxUArizona, Dr. Deepta Bhattacharya asks, “What if we could use the programmable power of RNA vaccines to train our immune systems to recognize not just new viruses, but also rapidly regenerating mutations?” Advances in vaccine research have shown the possibility of training our immune systems to lock down and shut out anything that isn’t “natural” in our bodies - however we define it.
Dr. Deepta Bhattacharya is a Professor of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson. He received his BS in biochemistry from Indiana University, his PhD in molecular and cell biology from UC Berkeley, and postdoctoral training at Stanford University. In 2008, he began his own lab at Washington University in St. Louis, first as an Assistant Professor and then as a tenured Associate Professor. He returned in 2017 to his birthplace of Tucson and to the University of Arizona, where his research group studies immune responses to vaccines and infections. His group has made many findings on molecular and cellular pathways and features of vaccines that are important for durable immunity.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bhattacharya’s research and viewpoints were featured heavily in major media outlets such as The New York Times, National Public Radio, CNN. and The Wall Street Journal. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Bonne santé !

Wow an actual scientific speech on Ted talk? What a rare occasion

[@BlakeElliott35]

I wish him the absolute best of luck, because I personally believe this is the best way to improve our immunobiology in the future. So much of what I’ve read on this subject makes too much sense to ignore or downplay the potential of.

[@WHISTLEPEG]

This is brilliant!! We are so lucky to be living in a time with modern medicine. Thank you to all the dedicated medical researchers working hard to find ways to keep us well and healthy. I have stage 4 cancer and I'm on immunotherapy, a relatively new treatment. It is working. Without it, I would already be dead.

[@MasterK-hv4ws]

I am living with stage 4 lung cancer, and thanks to keytruda I am still alive, and my tumorburden greatly reduced.

By chance did Dr.Bhattacharya work at St.Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City ?

[@joybrown1772]

And all of you, too.❤😊🎉

[@mohamedsonofkemetegypt979]

Hope Allah. Gives health to all Cancer patient people from all world wide ❤🤲

[@mwv25]

Awesome

[@shamemmostofa7679]

Nice

[@bukurie6861]

Thank you share!we will be first to control ourself with analyses,...to identification everything any diseases in our body!And to have courage as to be as diseases cancer.❤💪😍👋

The antivaxxers would be piling on top of each other, cutting in front of people in the vaccination line-up to get vaccinated first.

[@adamnowak5719]

What about excessive deaths in 2023 among triple-vaxxed people?

[@ejo5294]

you have no evidence of that

[@PurpleNoir]

Misinformation. Please don’t fear spread it further and also maybe consider listening to licensed medical professionals
