Can your immune system cure cancer? Will heart professionals be able to direct cancer-fighting medicines directly to a specific tumor site? Research in how the body can be a vehicle for cancer cures will lead to a revolution in treatment. She co-hosts the PhDivas podcast and is featured in the Super Cool
Scientists: Women in Science coloring book. Her work in advocacy for girls and women in science led her to be chosen as a national TED Fellow in 2016. As a Fellow she has spoken at the national TED conference and has participated nationally in TED events.

With a Ph.D. from Cornell University in biomedical engineering, she’s a postdoctoral fellow at the Carolina Center for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Excellent talk, I've always felt this way about cancer and other disease. I remember learning about macrophages in 8th grade when I, also became aware just of how magnificent the human body really is.

    What a beautiful mind you have Dr Wayne! May you continue using it for many years.
  • @johnrowland3105
    Just discovered this. I hope you're still working in this field. Those of us awaiting a full (is it cancer or isn't it ?)diagnosis post Covid pandemic, need this kind of presentation and explanation. Thank you.
  • @komalsharma2463
    Pranayam or breathing exercises … is the answer ! True self healing from inside! Thank you for the presentation!

    In 1972 our neighbor who was 74 had terminal bone cancer with horrific continuous pain. Chemo, surgery and radiation had been used for years prior. Her personal doctor decided to just let her pass away, no hope left. Her son, a wealthy lawyer, decided to take another route. He called a Naturopathic practitioner to the horrifying reaction of her Allopathic doctor. 5 days of a funky unorthodox treat later, after the bedridden neighbor who was bloated and yellow skinned stood and walked out into the sunlit street, without pain. She was happy as I had never seen her before and sang for joy. No more Chemo etc. I saw all this story unfold, I was 20 years old. What the practitioner did opened my eyes to the controlled metabolism approach of AUTOPHAGY through fasting. I'm summarizing obviously but YES, THE BODY DOES HEAL ITSELF !

    What an excellent TED TALK speech. I loved listening and learning about cancer research through your eyes. Thankyou for being a Scientist as we need so many more just like you!!!

    Thank you Elizabeth Wayne. Enjoyed your talk and your humor. When I saw your title, that is what drew me in. I was hoping that you were going to give us something we could use NOW. my white blood cell count has been low since the 1980's. Maybe before but I don't have records before that. It was at 2.6 for at least 3 years. I started these 2 visualizations for increasing WBCC after my 3/12/24 blood test showed the same 2.6. on 3/27/24 I had another blood test, suddenly after more than 3 years...my WBCC was up to 3.7. Visualizations can be powerful. I AM HEALTHY. I AM GRATEFUL 💖

  • @ashokstrm
    Very nice intellectually informative talk. This should have lot more reviews for the benefit of people.
  • @BManolakos
    Thank you so much for all the innovative work you’re doing to try to cure cancer!

    I appreciated your presentation you are a delightful lady.- My friend is struggling with oral cancer and she has refused to get into chemo or radiation. She said no to haveing the surgeon cut into her cheek and have bone graphs, etc.Much prayer, trusting the divine every day. I've searched a lot tor helpful options - I hope whatever your pursuits are that you include the plant-based diet [organic prerably] ,grow a garden if you can; the brain is the key so reprogramming your sub-consciou to think "I am happy" and gratefulness as Dr. Bruce Lipton has revealed and Ozone therapy Treatment - so helpful in dentistry and elsewhere, and of course your spiritual condition - worry, fear, anger, etc. need to be released - surrendered, and given to our Creator so you are free of negativity. God bless you.❤💥

    It's amazing how much humans have learned about the human body over the last 40 years. But people are still getting sick and dying so we have a long way to go.

    Really interesting I like collaborating with your immune super hero macrophage who fights bravely on their own and we give them meds to use as additional ammunition. I agree scientists and all of us need to ask Qs and wonder…stepping back to see in other ways is creativity. Sounds similar to how to fight COVID
