1.0.4 Paula Brandt - Exploring the Intersection of Physics and Medicine
In this episode of the PAM Talks, we explore the intersection of physics and medicine as host Gabby interviews Paula Brandt, a medical science PhD student at the University of Calgary. Paula shares her journey from studying physics to medical research, driven by a desire to combine her passions. In her research, Paula applies her physics background in optics to understand protein misfolding in type two diabetes, highlighting the importance of understanding the role of misfolded proteins in disease progression. This research aims to develop a diagnostic procedure to detect misfolded proteins earlier, potentially revolutionizing diabetes treatment.
The PAM Talks gratefully acknowledges support from the University of Calgary Graduate Student Association Quality Money grant program.
