I speak today to a former collegiate swimmer and co-founder of Rain Therapeutics, Dr. Robert Doebele.

As the saying goes, "when one door closes, another door opens". This is how the story of Dr. Robert went for his collegiate swimming career. Which ends up with him winding his way around to the path that he's on today.

After a time in academia he's left for more full-time work in private practice at Rain Therapeutics. Though I often think of the transition from one job to another as being jarring - Dr. Robert's story shows me how things can go much more smoothly with some planning ahead of time.

Dr. Robert specializes in researching cures for very specific kinds of lung cancer. These solutions are often referred to as targeted therapies. We talk about the differences between the broad strokes of chemo and he explains to me how this "targeted therapy" works.

If you need a little hope for the future then listen to my conversation with Dr. Robert Doebele and know that there are great people working on creating a brighter future for humanity.
