With special thanks to the University of Oregon for presenting partnership, a world class stage design
provided by Meyer Pro Inc, an incredible legacy bound Event Book provided by Premier Press and to the creative digital craft provided by Enjoy the Weather & Victory Creative. All of our Partners and event history can be found at TEDxPortland.com Eric is focused on eradicating cancer. After receiving a PhD from the University of Victoria in Canada, Eric trained at the National Institutes of Health with Dr. Steven A. Rosenberg, a pioneer in cancer immunotherapy, a field that harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. In 2017, Eric joined the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, a division of Providence Cancer Institute, here in Portland to develop new immunotherapies that specifically target cancer mutations in hopes to #FINISHCANCER. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Nothing is as powerful as a man with a purpose

Wow, if a person hasn’t been affected by cancer in some way or another, how fortunate!
-
America should fund science like this
-
Thank you Dr Tran. I feel so sorry for the patients with cancer that cannot afford healthcare in your state and country. They don't get a chance to even start fighting for their lives.

"It is only a matter of time before we finish cancer." From your lips to God's ears.

Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Tran are the heroes of our time.

Yours is the kind of medicine I dreamt to do. Chasing solutions, not prescribing routines. Loved your 'I can' terribly. And, I bet you will. Thank you for your incredible mind and humanity. More strength to you, soul brother.

This isn’t no miracle, this is genius. Helping our body help itself💪🏼

Toxins in our environment have led to much cancer rise. Alternatives exist and an ''integrative'' approach is a MUST for cancer treatments and survival.

Great news. I hope the advances come quickly for those affected by this horrible disease.

I hope very soon this TCR gene therapy will be available in developing and underdeveloped countries also. A ray of hope for advanced or metastasied cancer patient.

Thank you for your expertise, research and sharing this video. I only hope it quickly comes together, without taking years and years, before bladder cancer is the end of me and cancer for so many people globally.

I am doctor in India. I think earlier approach of developing T cells from patients own tumour will be more effective in the patient because the specific receptors can be used after multiplying T cells to high strength as they will have specific receptors. Earlier the patient comes for therapy will be better because TCells will be younger and robust in tumour. But being a immunity specialist from India. I feel this is ultimate treatment for cancer patients. You must continue to refine your technique and develop bio standards for doses of T cells prepared. Multiple doses may be used. Best of luck

We hope for more doctors like you!

The Goal should be, Everyone gets a T-Cell infusion or recharge as part of a Health Plan Maintenance Program. Lets redirect some of those wasted Billions for Research.

Çok teşekkürler Dr. Tran. Tüm emekleriniz ve katkılarınız için. Dünyanın her yerinde milyonlarca insan ve onların doktorları sizden gelecek yeni haberleri bekliyor. Keşke insanlığın büyük kaynakları silahlar ve savaşlar yerine böyle büyük ve değerli çabalar için harcansa, ne kadar iyi olurdu.
