Scientists, Unedited is a monthly podcast hosted by Eirini Vamva, PhD, that spotlights the people behind scientific breakthroughs – their journeys, motivations, and lives beyond the lab. Each episode begins with personal stories, explores passions outside of science, and closes with an accessible conversation about the guest’s work for a general audience.

In this first episode, Dr. Vamva sits down with ASGCT President Matthew Porteus, PhD, for a conversation about the winding path that brought him full circle back to Stanford University. The conversation offers a candid look at the personal experiences and motivations that have shaped Dr. Porteus’s career and his leadership in the field of cell and gene therapy.
