Lancet Podcast: Interview With Professor Jiang Gu

 

# 1142

 

 

This week's issue of The Lancet contains an important study on the autopsy results of two avian flu victims.  

 

Yesterday, I blogged on this study here.

 

The Lancet also provides, on occasion, audio interviews with the principal researchers, and does so today with an interview with Professor Jiang Gu.

 

 

 

The Lancet 29 September 2007  (mp3, 16.3Mb)
Professor Jiang Gu from Beijing University, China, discusses the H5N1 research article in this week's issue. The virus was found in human tissue other than the lungs after autopsy of two avian influenza cases in China. Also discussed is the lead editorial concerning the overuse of surrogate markers in clinical trials

 

An excellent interview, with a great deal of detail not included in the news articles. 

 

Well worth listening to.
