A 33 min overview of GI rad onc!

I made this video for an oral boards review course, sharing here.

It’s just 5 slides (below) & me talking the whole time, so you can just listen.

Hope it’s helpful! Link next post, and short 🧵.

I am making nano particles that preferentially target tumor cells and enhance innate immunity. This may have a future impact in the treatment of tumors with little or no specific bio markers for targeting.

[Maureen Aliru @MAliruMDPhD]
