  • ohh well she's cute and smart - I don't know WTF is your problem

  • I know that she is young and all but no lie she had great ideas kudos to her research

  • Nanosystems

  • Human Genome Project

    As well as Biosciences

    Applied Math

    Leadership as well

  • Rhabdomyosarcomas are malignant tumors of skeletal muscle. These tumors commonly grow in the arms or legs, but they can also begin in the head and neck area and in reproductive and urinary organs like the vagina or bladder. Children are affected much more often than adults.

  • she is amazing

  • for those of you who are criticizing her public speaking skills, what were you doing when you were 19? what were you capable of? Any way that cancer research can be made more sensational to be more accessible to the paris hilton culture we are stewing in like human meat cubes is a positive addition. our world is ridiculous and when someone who is 19 has a passion for research, i sleep a little better. i'll take nervous imperfect enthusiasm over useless opinion (yes including mine) any day. peace

  • Does this woman know there is already a supressed cure for cancer. But telling to the public will get you ridiculed and murdered, so why not create one that is corporate friendly.

  • @nabeelmerchant - There are many non-corporate therapies for cancer. Better yet, there is the concept of prevention. She is on the right track in that she is looking at working with the body's natural processes, instead of against them. Obviously she is is being brought up in mainstream medical science, but she has the imagination to look at things in a fresh way. She may be the one to get the mainstream medical world to see anew.

  • ... continued...The talk seems like a "celebrity interview" with lots of personal narratives of childhood and family that are irrelevant to the discussion of medicine.

    Yes, she did a great job as a 19 year old and I wish her great success in pursuing her dream. But I hope future presentations will be more mindful towards matching up speakers, topics, audience, and purpose of the lectures.

  • She is obviously intelligent and enthusiastic, but "why HER?"

    Yes, she is extremely accomplished--for 19 year-old. But asking her to speak on the future of medicine, on a platform of this caliber seems like a very odd, and frankly, poor choice. She used no visual aid and provided no good example (the claim of no skeletal muscle cancer is simply incorrect).

  • her voice is annoying

  • she was just using "AND" too much

    that's probably why u found her annoying

    people usually talk better within 5 minutes after presenting from being nervous

  • annoying voice

  • no, little girl; reality is so much more fucking complex than that; i wouldnt even know where to begin;

    i think she will be singing a different tune after getting her medical degree and doing a phd; science would be so much more fun if it was this intuitive and easy to grasp;

    still, smart girl; and i didnt find her voice to be annoying at all btw

  • AAAAAND

  • Alzheimer's - brain chip - CHECK MY SITE.

  • Also, try this: Inhibit the lactate transport proteins in the membrane of cancer patientes and put them into an inactive state, see what happens.

  • Do u guys know what has been proven as a preventive mecanism of alzheimer IBUPROFEN, yep that´s right, there is reasearch about it; and it has been shown that youn are 6 times less likely to develop alzheimer if you have been taking ibuprofen regularly (for example rheuma patients). But no lab cares about to go deep on this because if it there´s more to that, they wouldn´t have the patent and couldn´t make money.

  • Stem cells (or repair cells) are not defined in origin. Once they arrive to their destination they recognize what they need to repair and the cells are defined and start the repair process. I think the solution is to help the body define his repair cells so that they can recognize the part of the body they are meant to repair otherwise these undefined stem cells gather together and form a tumor. Just a thought, anyone agrees or disagrees?

  • if anyone wants to get in to a MEDICAL talk about this, im game.

    i mean cmon people. i am 12 YEARS OLD and i found this extremely interesting, and all you adults/young adults out there can think of is her sexy body and annoying voice?!? jeez

    anyway, this could be great. what if we could figure out the chemical structure of the m-something that lets the muscles convert cells and "reprogram" it to work for, say, brain cells??

  • I can't believe some of these comments. For god sake, you listen to a 19 year old talking about her experiments and proposing new radical ideas about what cancer may be, and the only thing you can think about is that her "voice" in annoying? I bet your children will be super smart! It's amazing how some people can take the most amazing things for granted...

  • chill everyone ,

    this young girl was oviously very nervous to speak live on that magnitude . i thought she was very passionate and you'd not mind hearing her voice if she had the cure for cancer for your son or daughter :))

  • Wow!! This is a great idea!!

  • Great enthusiasm and clear thinking. Wonderful insights.

  • Thought provoking I should say... really interesting! Oncology is a promissing field as well as Stem Cells research. Together these could work perfectly.

    Thanks for the video!

  • very interesting point of vue. The cancer as the natural healing body process to recover health from traumatic psychic damages.I hope one day medecine will recognize such intuitions ( Dr Hamer in Germany).
