Podcast: Wissen gegen Krebs

Behind every illness lies a deeply personal and moving story; behind every research project, a dedicated individual pursuing a clear goal.

The podcast series «Wissen gegen Krebs» brings these two worlds together: a person diagnosed with cancer and a researcher who is doing everything in their power to ensure that recovery from cancer becomes the norm.

The podcast series is broadcast directly from the comfort of home, the hospital, the laboratory or the treatment room, and provides an insight into the projects supported by the Swiss Cancer Research Foundation.

A new episode is released every month. Have a listen and subscribe to the podcast, which was nominated for the Suisse Podcast Awards 2024.

Production: Rebekka Haefeli
Music: Jim & Pete Thuli and Audiohub.de
