Dr. Yaara Oren is a cancer researcher at Tel Aviv University who recently won a European Research Council grant for her work on persister cells – cancer cells that don’t respond to traditional cancer treatments and remain in the body even after a patient enters remission. In this episode of The Global Connection, Oren speaks with host Anna Sajecki about this rising field of research and its overall significance for cancer research and treatments.
