Show Notes

Have you, a loved one, or a close friend had a run-in with cancer at some point? Chances are that the answer is yes. The more involved you were in the treatment process, the more you can appreciate the relative imperfections of currently-available treatment options, though they are steadily improving. In this episode, Drew & Liv sit down with Dr. Kevin Parker, CEO and co-founder of Cartography Biosciences, who is at the forefront of developing personalized cancer treatment regimens. In this episode, the three of them cover the history and development of cancer treatments, the greatest challenges that have slowed the personalization of individualized immunotherapies, and how Kevin thinks Cartography can overcome those obstacles to enter a new generation of cancer treatments. You can learn more about Cartography on their website, cartographybio.com, and LinkedIn.
