with Bradley Stohr MD PhD of UCSF
WHEN?: Wednesday, November 20th, 2024 – TLHS Innovation Hub – 7:30 – 8:30pm
Description: We humans are extraordinarily complex organisms, each of us composed of roughly 30 trillion cells. Our health depends on all of those cells working together in harmony, and just one cell going rogue can potentially spell disaster. In this session, Bradley Stohr of UCSF will share one patient’s story of battling a deadly disease. We’ll discuss how the cells that cause disease can be identified, how doctors can fight back against those cells, and why our best efforts are unfortunately not always enough.
