14: What the HEK is autoimmunity? How can immunotherapy help?

So we have talked a lot about immunotherapy for cancer - but its also used to treat autoimmune diseases! In this episode we talk with Dr. Marc Horwitz, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of British Columbia, about what autoimmunity is and how immunotherapy is being used to treat autoimmune diseases. Dr. Horwitz also recently co-started a research cluster called the <a href="https://autoimmune.ubc.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Autoimmune Biomedical collaborative</a> to get researchers, clinicians, and patients together to better tackle autoimmune diseases.--Interested in learning more about immunotherapy?

13: What the HEK is patient engagement in research?

Patients are the centre of why we do what we do in immunotherapy research - so shouldn’t they have a say?? Well that's where patient engagement in research comes in! It is becoming increasingly common to involve patients throughout the research pipeline since patients provide lived experience that we as scientists often do not see. To discuss how this works, their own personal journey with patient engagement, and how to get involved in patient engagement, either as a scientist or a patient partner, we are joined by two special guests. First, Dr. Manoj Lalu, a scientist and anesthesiologist who has been paving the way of what patient partnerships in research should look like. And second, Nadine, a patient partner in the lab of your host’s Gillian and Grace (Evgin Lab).Nadine and Dr. Lalu mentioned many resources throughout the episode which are provided below:<a href="https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/45851.html⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">CIHR’s definition of Patient Engagement</a> <a href="ttps://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/48413.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">CIHR’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) </a>- Patient Engagement Framework<a href="https://labpartners.ca/⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">LabPartners</a> (patient engagement in preclinical research) Additionally if you want to learn more - reach out to us and we can connect you with Dr. Lalu and his team!--Interested in learning more about immunotherapy?
