Dr. Stefania Kapsetaki, Searching for Cancer in Chimerism #ScientistOutLoud

To listen to this episode, download the mp3 directly, find us on iTunes, or use the player below.

Our guest this week is Dr. Stefania Kapsetaki, a postdoctoral research fellow at Arizona State University at the Arizona Cancer & Evolution Center. Joining us from Greece, where she is working remotely during the pandemic, Dr. Kapsetaki is studying chimerism across the tree of life and its potential impact in triggering cancer.  Representing a relatively new field of research in life science, chimerism occurs when organisms contain cells from other organisms.  Dr. Kapsetaki joins us to talk about her research, how she is able to continue her work through the pandemic, and how discoveries in chimerism might impact our health and understanding of life science.

#ScientistOutLoud
We found Dr. Kapsetaki (and many other scientists) on #sciencetwitter. Throughout season 14, we will be showcasing some of these scientists and their work.
