Every disease has a story to tell - Dr Travis Brown

This Pathological Life podcast is an inspired collaboration between General Pathologist Dr Travis Brown and seasoned radio interviewer and podcaster, Steve Davis. 

By using a storytelling format, they share the history behind diseases and put health challenges into context to deepen your library of anecdotes and explanations. 

In Season One, the podcast brought to life a spectrum of general pathology topics by delving into each through the lens of historical aspects of disease, community impact of chronic illness, study or research threads, and topical areas of interest. We shared episodes such as ‘A pox on both your houses.’ – about small pox; ‘A pathological addiction to making sandwiches’ – Typhoid Mary and quite simply, "What is Pathology?".

In Season Two, we kick off with indigenous health chats with Dan Tyson Chief Executive Officer at Desert Knowledge Australia. We have lined up discussions about medical ethics with President AMASA Dr Chris Moy and social media health data with Mayo Clinic's Lee Aase Communications Director, Social and Digital Innovation, as well as immunology and allergy testing with Dr Daman Langguth Head of Immunology Department, Chair of SNP Partners, Member of Executive Advisory Committee, Chair of the Data Request Committee.

We consider "What is genius?" with Sonic Genetics Professor Graeme Suthers

We encourage you to request topics, stories and tales that would be of interest.

Enjoy the listen.

PS Dr Travis Brown is a General Pathologist who enjoys working in the fields of Biochemistry, Microbiology, Anatomical Pathology, and Haematology.

One of the important jobs of a doctor is to prescribe medications.

Unfortunately, it also happens to be one of the most challenging.

Pharmacokinetics, physiology, and drug-to-drug interactions are just some of the challenges that doctors deal with every day.

It is becoming more apparent that for medications and one size (dose) does not fit them all. In addition, it the role of genetics is also becoming increasingly important for the drugs that suit, and don’t suit, individual patients.

Our special guest for this episode is Professor Graeme Suthers to help us shed light on this area of Pharmacogenetics.

In the 1920’s, Pearl Buck searched for an answer to her 3 year old daughters intellectually disability. 

Unfortunately, no-one could help her because her daughter's condition was not yet known.

From the mid 1930s to the 1960s, a remarkable sequence of events led to the discovery of Phenylketonuria (PKU), accurate testing and widespread screening that revolutionised early detection of childhood disease(s)

It was also around the same time (mid 1930s) that some young children were believed to be dying of Coeliac disease. One child had an unusual findings in their pancreas.

Further investigation revealed other children with the same finding.

This was not Coeliac disease, it was Cystic Fibrosis (of the pancreas). As more was learnt about this disease, children began to live longer with improved quality of life.

Over the span of 90 years, the average life expectance for a person with Cystic Fibrosis went from 6 months to close to 50 years.

Our special guest for this episode is Professor Graeme Suthers.

The computing world has come a long way in less than 100 years.

Since Alan Turing introduced his paper ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’ in 1950, we have not only achieved the ‘Turing Test’ of Artificial Intelligence, but exceeded it.

This episode takes a look at Digital Pathology and the prospects of Artificial Intelligence particularly in relation to Anatomical Pathology.

Dr. Joseph Anderson, the host of Digital Pathology Today, is a consultant to early stage and mature companies in the digital pathology and molecular diagnostics space.

Previously, he oversaw the clinical pathology group at Genomic Health as the Oncotype Dx Breast Cancer Assay grew to a volume of over half a million tests. He was also involved in the development of new products, including assays for DCIS, Colon Cancer and one of the first commercially available liquid biopsies.

He served the College of American Pathologists on the Molecular Oncology Committee, with responsibility for proficiency testing in biomarkers for lung cancer in the United States and across the world and as a member of the House of Delegates representing the State of California. He has served on several working groups and committees for the American Medical Association for CPT coding and reimbursement and assessment of new technologies such as next generation sequencing.

Upon graduating from the University of Minnesota Medical School, Dr. Anderson completed residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Rush University, fellowship in Oncologic Pathology at Fox Chase Cancer Center and post-doctoral training in Molecular Diagnostics at UCSF. He initially worked in private practice, credentialed at 17 various hospitals and surgery centers.
