In this episode: This week we sit down with Matt Sikora, Ph.D. , an associate professor of pathology at CU AMC who leads his own lab studying lobular breast cancer and serves as a program liaison for the Cancer Center. He shares how mentors and colleagues shaped his ability to communicate science, and how patients and advocates are the driving force of his research – guiding his lab's research questions and keeping him motivated when plans go awry. Tune in to hear how engaging with patients and advocates keeps the research focused, relevant, and deeply human.
