Targeting Galectin-3 in Aggressive Breast Cancers: Implications for African Women - GSS 1.0 (2/6) - Doudou Georges Massar Niang

Graduate Student Series (GSS) 1.0 (Ep. 2 of 6). Doudou Georges Massar Niang grew up aspiring to be a professional basketball player — but he's now enamored with the field of immunology. With a doctor of Pharmacy and two Masters degrees from Cheikh Anta Diop University, Doudou's background spans hematology, cancer immunology and genetics. He has spent the last four years of his PhD exploring the roles of galectin-3 and various cytokines on breast cancers. The overall goal of his research is to understand how galectin-3 might be used as a biomarker and therapeutic target in various malignancies, particularly breast cancers. In this episode, he shares some of the interesting findings he's made so far and the implications they hold for breast cancer patients in Africa. Time stamps: 00:00 - intro 02:20 - overview of academic and research journey 06:20 - why he got interested in immunology research? 10:25 - current research in graduate school + findings + implications 18:40 - on triple-negative breast cancers 21:00 - implications of current research for Africa 25:00 - life as a graduate student (typical day, lab work, coping with failure and success, etc.) 28:20 - challenges of studying in Senegal/Africa: funding, skills, etc. 34:22 - dealing with successes and failures 37:04 - creating more opportunities to promote immunology research in Africa 41:10 - guiding principles and perspectives 43:04 - fun task (what's your favourite immune cell) 45:10 - plans post-PhD 47:04 - outro
