Studying and Managing Rare Diseases with Naveen Pemmaraju

Naveen Pemmaraju (@doctorpemm), MD, department of leukemia, University of Texas MD Anderson Center, joins the show to discuss how researchers approach the investigation of rare diseases. Chadi and Dr. Pemmaraju break down the latter’s distinguished work in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN)—a rare, aggressive hematologic cancer—as well as other rare and orphan diseases. Context for the rare and orphan disease drug development pathway, granular classification for malignancies (particularly in hematology), and so much more is provided in this thorough, fascinating dialogue.
