  • Summary

  • In this inspiring episode of Game Over: c*ncer, we sit down with Dr. Joelle Straehla, a CKc-funded young investigator who is revolutionizing pediatric brain cancer treatment with cutting-edge nanoparticle drug delivery systems.

    Dr. Straehla, a self-proclaimed “nerd” who combines her passion for science, medicine, and engineering, shares her incredible journey — from her days at Dana-Farber and MIT to her new role at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

    We discuss:
    -Her path to becoming a physician-scientist.
    -How nanoparticles are changing how we treat pediatric brain cancer.
    -The importance of celebrating small wins on the long road to finding a cure.
    -Mentoring the next generation of researchers and building a community of hope.

    Dr. Straehla’s story is a reminder that finding a cure isn't a singular success — it’s about progress, innovation, and collaboration every step of the way.
