Episode Notes

This discussion with Dr. Johan Skog covers a lot of ground while staying super approachable. 

The Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Exosome Diagnostics, starts by sharing basics about exosomes and tells us about how he’s translated his curiosity for the vesicles from tumor stem cells into his current role where he’s helped develop the world’s first exosome-based cancer diagnostic test. The conversation delves into the variations in exosomes populations, the value of using multiple biomarkers in diagnostics, the role that isolation and purification play in using exosomes for diagnostics, and why some cancers are better left untreated. 

Join us for this fascinating conversation with an innovator, that just happens to have one of the most soothing voices around.
