30. april 2025

I dag har vi med oss Sigrid Bratlie, strategisk rådgiver i Kreftforeningen og Langsikt - og ikke minst høyaktuell med bok om covid-pandemiens opphav: "Mysteriet i Wuhan". 

I dag er temaet celle-og genterapier, noe Sigrid kan mye om. Vi snakker om: Hva er det, hvilke behandlinger er godkjent, hva er flaskehalser og muligheter. Og vi snakker selvfølgelig mye om det norske forskningsmiljøet her, vårt porteføljeselskap Zelluna og; Karl-Johan Malmberg sin forskning som han i år er gitt  Kong Olav Vs kreftforskningspris av Kreftforeningen. Han for den for sitt arbeid med NK-celler, det vil si naturlig drepeceller.

Sigrid kommer tilbake i podkasten 11. juni. Da skal vi snakke om potensialet i kombinasjonen kunstig intelligens og bioteknologi, og hvilke implikasjoner det kan ha for kreftfeltet. 

Send oss gjerne spørsmål!

Astellas Doubles Down on Gene Therapy Despite Industry Headwinds

From Plato and Derrida to anti-aging treatments, cryogenics, cloning, and whole-brain uploads, the dream of indefinite life is technological and, as Adam Rosenthal shows in Prosthetic Immortalities: a matter of prosthesis, the transformation of the original being. There can be no certainty of immortality and yet, the problem of immortality continues to haunt the soul. Rosenthal engages David Wills and Deborah Goldgaber in a conversation that touches on philosophy, transhumanism, biopolitics, Dolly the sheep and the return of the dire wolf, what it means to extend life or, ultimately, to extend death.


Adam R. Rosenthal is associate professor of French and global studies at Texas A&M University. Rosenthal is author of Prosthetic Immortalities: Biology, Transhumanism, and the Search for Indefinite Life and Poetics and the Gift: Reading Poetry from Homer to Derrida.

David Wills is professor of French studies at Brown University and author of Prosthesis. 

Deborah Goldgaber is assistant professor of philosophy at Louisiana State University and author of Speculative Grammatology: Deconstruction and the New Materialism.

Praise for the book:
“Rigorous, compelling, and beautifully written, Prosthetic Immortalities is at the vanguard of the new wave in Derrida studies.”
—Nicole Anderson, founding editor, Derrida Today Journal

“Adam R. Rosenthal conjures up the ghosts of metaphysics that return today through the promises of indefinite life from medical science and transhumanist speculations, moving brilliantly between science and science fiction.”
—Francesco Vitale, author of Biodeconstruction: Jacques Derrida and the Life Sciences



Prosthetic Immortalities: Biology, Transhumanism, and the Search for Indefinite Life by Adam R. Rosenthal, with foreword by David Wills, is available from University of Minneota Press. Thank you for listening.
