Description: David Mooney, Robert Pinkas Family Professor of Bioengineering in the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and a Core Faculty Member of the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, discusses training immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer mutations. While current immunotherapies create nearly miraculous cures for some patients, they only work for certain cancers and a fraction of those affected. Mooney's team develops new treatments to work for most people across many cancer types. He emphasizes the profound responsibility researchers carry, noting that without continued work, suffering patients won't receive life-saving therapies. This research represents his mission to make the world better through new cures and treatments.

Harvard's David Corey on Gene Therapy Breakthrough for Childhood Deafness

Title: Harvard's David Corey on Gene Therapy Breakthrough for Childhood Deafness
Runtime: 1:48
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: David Corey, Bertarelli Professor of Translational Medical Science at Harvard Medical School, discusses his team's development of gene therapies to treat hereditary deafness in children. After nearly 50 years studying inner ear cells, they're close to treating two types of genetic hearing loss: Usher syndrome type 1F and DFNB1. The therapy uses viruses to deliver normal gene copies into inner ear cells, replacing defective ones that cause deafness. Early treatment by age one or two is critical before brain hearing pathways fail to develop. With 3,000-4,000 children affected annually, this research represents a potential cure for genetic hearing loss.

Harvard's JoAnn Manson on the impact of the Women's Health Initiative

Title: Harvard's JoAnn Manson on the impact of the Women's Health Initiative
Runtime: 1:45
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: JoAnn Manson, Professor of Women's Health at Harvard Medical School, discusses the Women's Health Initiative and the importance of long-lasting research trials. The Women's Health Initiative was launched in the early 1990s to address the lack of research into the health of post-menopausal women. It was the first of its kind in the United States. The study continues today and has given researchers valuable data on a range of illnesses and treatments.
In April 2025, the NIH announced that it would be withdrawing funding from the Initiative. After a public outcry, support for the project was restored.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
"On Foreign Inheritances"

President Garber, most esteemed deans, most wise professors, most distinguished guests, friends, families, and my beloved fellow students: welcome all!

It is a great honor for me to address you all. This oration is not only unintelligible to those without Latin, but even the crew of trained students of antiquity who can read and write the Latin language but cannot speak or hear it need a translation, especially me. Therefore, you all who are listening are only waiting for the one funny sentence in English (which is coming, don’t worry!). You check your watches and wonder aloud when Abraham Verghese, or really anyone speaking in English, will speak! What is the reason for speaking Latin? I ask for patience; I will offer an explanation.
