Episode 5: Drs Wargo and McAllister - Pancreas Cancer and The Microbiome.

In this episode, we meet the senior investigators behind the paper "Tumor Microbiome Diversity and Composition Influence Pancreatic Cancer Outcomes," Dr Jen Wargo and Dr Florencia McAllister. We discussed their findings in this very important paper as well as other past and on-going projects surrounding this topic. Links to papers discussed; highly recommend at least skimming these articles before listening. Enjoy!
