Sumanta Pal: Second Episode of ‘On the Edge of Breakthrough – Voices of Cancer Research’ podcasts

Sumanta Pal, Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, Professor and co-director of the Kidney Cancer Program and leads the Kidney and Bladder Cancer Disease Team at City of Hope, reshared a post by City of Hope on LinkedIn:

“On the Edge of Breakthrough: Voices of Cancer Research” premiered in the top 5% of podcasts! Thank you for your support!

For our second episode, I sat down with someone who is indeed one of the most interesting folks I’ve met in my career (in a good way, I assure you!) – Yuman Fong. He’s a legend in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, but has interests ranging from rock music to medieval poetry to artificial intelligence.

We touch on just about everything, including stars in the City of Hope Department of Surgery (Mustafa Raoof, Laleh Melstrom, Yanghee Woo, Dan Raz, Jae Kim & so many others).

Looking for feedback, so if you can offer a review and/or rating, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Previous guests: Saro Armenian

Upcoming guests: Top secret!
