00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:02.480
- My goal when I came to Yale,

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.180
which is really coming to fruition now,

00:00:05.180 --> 00:00:09.840
was to be the link between basic science

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:13.350
and the clinic in terms
of cellular therapies.

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:15.710
So my main clinical responsibility

00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:19.930
is to run the laboratory in the hospital

00:00:19.930 --> 00:00:21.870
that provides the cells

00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:25.140
to patients undergoing bone
marrow transplantation,

00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:28.300
and on the research side
to provide the cells

00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:32.470
to patients undergoing clinical
trials in cellular therapy.

00:00:32.470 --> 00:00:35.100
So my medical expertise is really in

00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:38.210
more of the basic science

00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:41.190
of what underlies health and disease

00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:42.810
and understanding disease states

00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.310
and the mechanisms by which they happen.

00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:48.440
And medically I help the clinicians

00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:50.680
to interpret laboratory tests.

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:53.500
So what makes someone
a clinician scientist?

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.050
I think it's just that they are somebody

00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:57.700
who not only is thinking
about what's at the forefront

00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:59.080
and what's best for my patient,

00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:02.530
but how can I be one of the people

00:01:02.530 --> 00:01:05.920
who helps to bring the novel
therapies to the patient?

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.020
So that they're thinking
not just as an academic,

00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:10.890
which is basically a scientist,

00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:13.010
but they are also implementing

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:15.800
some of this scientific insight

00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:18.277
by bringing novel
therapies to the patients.
