The Biomedical Podcast

In this episode of The Biomedical Podcast, we explore patient-derived organoids and their impact on precision oncology. Learn how these “tumor-in-a-dish” models, grown from a patient’s own cancer cells, are revolutionizing drug screening, predicting treatment responses, and guiding personalized therapies. We cover organoid culture, success stories, challenges, and how this breakthrough is bridging lab research and tailored cancer care.

In this fifth episode of The Biomedical Podcast, we unpack plant-derived polyphenols—from their extraction methods and bioavailability challenges to their potent health benefits. Learn how these natural antioxidants combat inflammation, support cardiovascular and metabolic health, and protect against chronic disease. We’ll explore optimized extraction techniques, factors influencing polyphenol absorption, and practical insights from experts like Prof. Juan Carlos Carmona-Hernandez, Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences and Professor at Universidad de Manizales (Colombia). Tune in for actionable tips on harnessing the power of polyphenols in your diet.

In this episode of The Biomedical Podcast, we dive into the world of small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics—one of the most promising next-generation RNA technologies. Learn how siRNA works to silence disease-causing genes, explore cutting-edge delivery platforms overcoming cellular barriers, and examine breakthrough studies in cancer, genetic disorders, and viral infections. Join us as we unpack the science, clinical progress, and future challenges of harnessing siRNA to revolutionize medicine.

In this episode of The Biomedical Podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of cardiology.
