13: What the HEK is patient engagement in research?
Episode 13
Wednesday, 3 September, 2025
Patients are the centre of why we do what we do in immunotherapy research - so shouldn’t they have a say?? Well that's where patient engagement in research comes in! It is becoming increasingly common to involve patients throughout the research pipeline since patients provide lived experience that we as scientists often do not see. To discuss how this works, their own personal journey with patient engagement, and how to get involved in patient engagement, either as a scientist or a patient partner, we are joined by two special guests. First, Dr. Manoj Lalu, a scientist and anesthesiologist who has been paving the way of what patient partnerships in research should look like. And second, Nadine, a patient partner in the lab of your host’s Gillian and Grace (Evgin Lab).Nadine and Dr. Lalu mentioned many resources throughout the episode which are provided below:CIHR’s definition of Patient Engagement CIHR’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) - Patient Engagement FrameworkLabPartners (patient engagement in preclinical research) Additionally if you want to learn more - reach out to us and we can connect you with Dr. Lalu and his team!--Interested in learning more about immunotherapy?
