E137: Hannah Bargh-Dawson - Using Ultrasound to Stimulate Microbubbles for Radio-Sensitisation

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up with Hannah Bargh-Dawson as part of Education and Workforce Development series (part 51).Discussion about Hannah’s career, PhD research and the potential of using ultrasound to stimulate microbubbles for radio-sensitisation in preclinical research. To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points: 1) consider the possibilities and limitations of microbubbles in radio-sensitisation.2) reflect on who you look to for mentorship for your development.3) consider how you can learn from your failures in your practice.Complete this form for your accredited digital badge: https://bit.ly/3GbtR1X.Links from podcast:A guide to UK PhDs: https://www.phdportal.com/countries/30/united-kingdom.htmlInstitute of Cancer Research (ICR) fully-funded PhD projects:  https://www.icr.ac.uk/studying-and-training/phds-for-science-graduates/phd-studentship-projectsAcoustic Cluster Therapy: https://www.icr.ac.uk/news-archive/world-first-treatment-with-acoustic-cluster-therapy-to-improve-chemotherapy-delivery Tumour-liquifying microbubbles and immune cell tracking: UK’s first convergence science centre officially launches: https://www.icr.ac.uk/news-archive/tumour-liquifying-microbubbles-and-immune-cell-tracking-uk-s-first-convergence-science-centre-officially-launches The Cancer Research UK Convergence Science Centre: https://www.icr.ac.uk/our-research/centres-and-collaborations/strategic-collaborations/convergence-science-centreNC3R link: https://nc3rs.org.uk/ Research articles:Tumor radiation response enhancement by acoustical stimulation of the vasculature:https://www.pnas.org/doi/suppl/10.1073/pnas.1200053109 A study combining microbubble-mediated focused ultrasound and radiation therapy in the healthy rat brain and a F98 glioma model: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10899261/ Radiation enhancement using focussed ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles for breast cancer: A Phase 1 clinical trial: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11146716/ Please like and subscribe to Rad Chat on your podcast library.Our links:Link Tree:https://linktr.ee/radchat Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/RadChatPodcast/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rad__chat/ LinkedIn:https://uk.linkedin.com/company/radtalk Tik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rad_chat Twitter:https://twitter.com/rad__chat?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radchat2259Music and jingle credits: Dr. Ben Potts and Adam Cooke.
