Immunotherapy With James Larkin, Gresham College, 15 February 2024

It’s been a while since I attended a Gresham lecture live. In Janie’s case, probably not since the most recent of mine…

…which took place before we met James Larkin in 2013 in the most stressful of circumstances, as Janie had a dismal diagnosis/prognosis of melanoma at that time.

The worst did not come to pass, against the odds.

We had been impressed with James Larkin and were keen to see what he had to say about developments with immunotherapies since our formal interactions with him on that topic.

Here is a link to all of the resources from this February 2024 Gresham lecture. Or if you just want to watch the vid, you can click the vid below:

A few of the usual suspects were at Barnard’s Inn Hall that night, including Basil and Lesley from the Gresham Society.

There was a drinks reception after the lecture, which gave me a chance to speak briefly with James. He hadn’t recognised us, unsurprisingly (just one consultation more than 10 years ago) but the dismal nature of that consultation clearly returned to his mind as we spoke.

So, she’s alright? Completely well?

James asked, looking at Janie with a slightly bemused expression on his face. Perhaps I was reading too much into it.

Anyway, fascinating talk.

There’s a panel discussion on this and related topics as part of the same series on 12 March – we’ve registered to follow that one on-line.
