All Things PhotonicsSpotlight: Frank Winkler, Professor for Neuro-Oncology, Heidelberg UniversityDr. Frank Winkler, at Heidelberg University focuses on the emerging field of cancer neuroscience, and the way brain cancers proceed. Winkler has used two-photon imaging to confirm that glioma cells link through microtubes, similar to typical neurons in the brain. His groundbreaking work has earned him the 2025 Brain Prize by the Lundbeck Foundation, alongside Dr. Michelle Monje. And in this spotlight conversation, Winkler discusses the journey he and Dr. Monje took to arrive at their conclusions, and how the shape of cancer research, particularly under the umbrella of neuroscience, is changing.

From Our Neurons to YoursHow the brain helps cancers grow | Michelle MonjeToday, we're talking with Stanford neuro-oncologist, Michelle Monje. This is actually the third time we've had Michelle on the show, in part because she's been a pioneer of three exciting frontiers in neuroscience — so far! This week, we're going to talk about cancer neuroscience. Michelle founded this new field with her discovery that deadly brain tumors not only link up physically with the healthy brain tissue surrounding them, but the cancers actually need the brain's electrical activity to grow and spread.It turns out that many cancers — not only in the brain — depend on nervous system...2024-08-1521 minFrom Our Neurons to YoursHow a new kind of brain plasticity could help make sense of addiction | Michelle Monje and Rob MalenkaThis week, we're diving into recent research that sheds light on a new form of brain plasticity involving changes in the insulation of nerve fibers — called myelin. It turns out that myelin plasticity is implicated in a number of serious conditions, from epilepsy to drug abuse and addiction.We're excited to bring back two previous guests on the show to share their insights on this previously unknown form of plasticity: Stanford psychiatry professor Rob Malenka (S1 E1 - Psychedelics and Empathy), a pioneer in the study of synaptic plasticity and addiction, and neuro-oncologist Michelle Monje (S1 E1...2024-06-2022 min

Childhood Cancer Talk Radio PodcastsAn Inside Look (Part II) at DIPG, Childhood Brain Cancer with Wendy Fachon and Janet DemeterBoth advocates and moms share the parallel of their personal experiences with their sons who were both diagnosed with DIPG, with Wendy's son Neil Fachon diagnosed at age 19 in 2016, and Janet's son Jack Demeter diagnosed in 2012. A continuation of a deep conversation from last week, the two share their hope and inspiration for continued advocacy as well as some of their hard-fought successes in the field. Despite the growing attention to the pediatric brain cancer research space, nothing has to date changed for the average family with a child diagnosed with DIPG from the experience 60 years ago. The two friends...2023-05-2600 minFrom Our Neurons to YoursBrain Fog | Michelle MonjeOne of the strangest and most disconcerting things about the COVID 19 pandemic has been the story of long COVID.Many COVID long-haulers have continued experiencing cognitive symptoms long after their initial COVID infection — loss of attention, concentration, memory, and mental sharpness — what scientists are calling "brain fog".

The Future of EverythingMichelle Monje: New therapies for brain cancerBrain cancers are known to be elusive and clever killers, but Michelle Monje, associate professor of neurology and neurological sciences, is helping to find new treatments through a better understanding of how healthy brain cells develop and how cancers often hijack those very same processes in order to grow themselves.
Monje says that the last decade has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of how cancers thrive and in the development of new drugs and therapies to kill the killers. Unfortunately, many chemotherapy drugs powerful enough to kill cancers also cause lasting impairment of the patient’s co...2019-04-2227 minChildhood Cancer Talk Radio PodcastsH.Res.69: Crucial Awareness Supports Greater Research from the Tragic Example of DIPGDr. Michelle Monje Deissiroth of Stanford University and Dr. Adam Green of University of Colorado, Denver, join us to discuss the breadth of their research as pediatric neuro-oncologists, specifically regarding DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
