DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 69 - THE ONE WITH "CANCER IS A MITOCHONDRIAL METABOLIC DISEASE WITH PROF. SEYFRIED"
Description
Listen to this amazing conversation I had with the one and only Professor Thomas Seyfried regarding cancer and its pathogenesis (which is not genetic or mutational in origin as per his work). I do suggest all in the medical fraternity including oncologists to listen/watch with an open mind and keep their differences at bay.
Thomas N. Seyfried (born 1946[1]) is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1976. His postdoctoral fellowship studies were in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine where he served as an assistant professor in neurology. He did undergraduate work at the University of New England, formerly St. Francis College, and received a master's degree in genetics from Illinois State University.
His research focuses on mechanisms of chronic diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, neurodegenerative lipid storage diseases, and caloric restriction diets.[2] Thomas N. Seyfried has been published in over 150 peer-reviewed publications.
