Despite significant strides in cancer research over the past two decades, there remains a vast realm of uncertainty surrounding the impact of various cancers on individuals. Amidst the proliferation of cancer discourse on social media, distinguishing evidence-based information from conjecture can prove challenging. Today’s guest is here to untangle all the complexities.
Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Joseph Zundell to discuss the research behind cancer prevention. Dr. Zundell shares the lifestyle factors that influence the development of cancer and the cutting-edge technologies for early cancer detection.
Dr. Joe Zundell received his Ph.D. in cancer biology through the University of the Sciences and The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, PA. He has over ten years of cancer research experience as a cancer biologist. Much of his published research has focused on finding new therapies for the treatment of many different cancer types based on the epigenetic and metabolic characteristics of cancers.
