Learning How to Fight Cancer Ep. 3: Dr. Stephen Noga on the Future of Dendritic Cell Therapy
In Episode 3 of Learning How to Fight Cancer, Matt Halpert sits down with Dr. Stephen Noga — a respected oncologist, immunologist, and former faculty member at Johns Hopkins — to explore why dendritic cell therapy, long considered a scientific dead end, may now be the key to treating advanced cancers.
With over 30 years of experience spanning academia, industry, and the FDA, Dr. Noga shares what drew him to Immunocine’s work, why he believes their double-loaded dendritic cell technology is the first real breakthrough in the field, and what it will take for immunotherapy to move from fringe to frontline.
Together, he and Dr. Halpert break down the limitations of today’s conventional care, the systemic failures within U.S. healthcare, and why combining rigorous science with true compassion is the only path forward for patients with limited options.
““We’ve been working with dendritic cells for decades. Couldn’t get them to do anything. But what Immunocine has done — this is the first time I’ve seen it actually work in people.””
