Nicolas Wolikow
Learning From Cancer Survivors to Transform Oncology In this episode of Visionaries of Health, Inga Bergen talks to Nicolas Wolikow, Co-Founder and CEO of Cure51 – a company on a mission to decode survival. Instead of focusing only on disease progression, Cure51 asks: Why do some people survive aggressive cancers – and what can we learn from them?
