On this week's episode, Mary Sheridan, Senior Manager of Accelerate Health fills in for our own Kerry Amato. She speaks with Dr. Nikhil Wagle, Medical Oncologist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and the Director of Count Me In, a nonprofit organization aimed at making it possible for cancer patients anywhere in the United States and Canada to be partners, rather than just statistics, in cancer research. Dr. Wagle explains how this novel approach of going straight to the patients has broken down traditional barriers within cancer research and allowed for faster analysis of patient data and therapies. When patients stand together with researchers, they can unlock new discoveries and treatments. To learn more about the Count Me In Project or sign up yourself if you are a patient, click here.
