Personalized medicine comes to cancer immunotherapy

Our immune system is one of the greatest feats of evolutionary biology—a system armed with the power to destroy the very body it resides in; precision tuned to protect the self, detect foreign invaders, and selectively destroy only what is necessary. The world is full of microscopic assailants—bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, you name it. Even though these pathogens may slow us down, and despite the constant barrage of external threats, the vast majority of us continue to survive for decades.

With cancer, unfortunately, the story is different. When the attack comes from within, the rules of the game can shift in favor of the attacker.

Decades of research have sought to understand the asymmetric battle fought between cancer, treatment, and the human host. And with a recent announcement of Phase III clinical trial results from Merck and Moderna, it appears we may be nearing the beginning of the end of cancer’s immune supremacy.

We are seeking an experienced physician to join our concierge-style practice—the only longevity practice trained in the philosophy of Dr. Peter Attia. In this role, you will focus primarily on providing Medicine 3.0-focused patient care, conducting comprehensive virtual visits, synthesizing biometric and clinical data, and creating personalized, prevention-focused treatment plans.
