S3 Ep5: Can protecting neurons change the future of glaucoma care?
25/02/2026 | 36 min
Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight,” often causing vision loss before people realize anything is wrong. In this episode, Stanford physician-scientist Jeffrey Goldberg shares how his work aims not just to slow damage, but to protect and strengthen the neurons that make vision possible.
S3 Ep4: What if we could stop kidney stones before they start?
25/02/2026 | 30 min
Kidney stones may seem like a temporary problem, but for millions of people they are painful, recurring, and poorly understood. Stanford nephrologist Alan Pao studies how the kidneys regulate minerals and chemical balance, uncovering how a little-known molecule called citrate could help stop stones before they form.
S3 Ep3: What can collaboration across disciplines unlock for the future of stroke care?
25/02/2026 | 31 min
A stroke caused by a blocked artery is one of the most time-critical emergencies in medicine. In stroke care, minutes matter — and so does precision. The difference between paralysis and recovery often comes down to how quickly, and how completely, a blood clot can be removed. At Stanford, an engineer and a physician partnered up to rethink that problem entirely.
S3 Ep2: How can curiosity — and a willingness to pivot — lead to life-saving breakthroughs?
25/02/2026 | 28 min
From uncertainty to impact, Purvesh Khatri’s career path was anything but straight. In this episode, he shares how curiosity and a willingness to pivot led to a breakthrough blood test that helps doctors make faster, life-saving decisions for sepsis.
S3 Ep1: How have researchers turned decades of work into real hope for families living with epidermolysis bullosa?
25/02/2026 | 49 min
Epidermolysis bullosa, often called “butterfly skin,” makes even the smallest touch painful. In this episode, we explore the courage of patients and families living with EB, and how Stanford clinician-researchers are helping turn decades of research into the first gene therapies that offer real hope.
