Luis Millán-Barea: Cancer micro environments, Chronic Interleukin 6 signalling as a chemotherapy resistance mechanism, Research in Industry vs academia, Puerto Rico, and simply asking questions.
Welcome back to another episode of Bio Squared a podcast about breakthrough biology and the biographies behind it. Today I have the pleasure of talking with Luis Millán-Barea.Luis is currently a postdoc in the Elledge lab at Harvard Medical School. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, then earned his PhD at MIT. His work showed how IL-6, a cytokine usually known for driving inflammation, can actually suppress the anti-tumor T-cell response that chemotherapy triggers. He then went into industry to pursue patient-focused research, before returning to academia because of his love of basic science. We talked about his work, his excitability and love for biology, and the merits of working in academia versus industry. And now, without further ado, I present Dr. Luis Millán-Barea.

Caleb Glassman: The adaptive immune system, cell-cell signalling, viral-host interactions, tackling large scientific projects, and living a fulfilling life.
Welcome to Bio^2 a podcast about breakthrough biology and the biographies behind it. Today I have the pleasure of talking with Caleb Glassman.He is a self described Genetics Gaucho, Viral Vaquero, and former Cytokine Cowboy but to me he is a friendly postdoc in the Elledge lab always handy with great advice and good spirits. Since first learning about the adaptive immune system in college Caleb has been all in on immunology. As a PhD student at Stanford, Caleb co-led the team that finally captured the full structure of JAK1, a signaling protein scientists had been chasing for more than two decades. Now as a postdoc in the Elledge lab Caleb has turned his attention to viruses. In a recent paper in Science, he led an effort to screen thousands of viral genes to uncover how viruses hijack our cells' ubiquitin ligase system to destroy host immune proteins.
