In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Matt Halpert, PhD, a cancer immunologist and the founder of Immunocine, to explore how dendritic cell immunotherapy is reprogramming the immune system to recognize and fight cancer.
Dr. Halpert shares his decade of cancer research at Baylor College of Medicine, explains why the dendritic cell functions as the general of the immune system army, and breaks down why traditional therapies like chemotherapy and radiation lack the specificity the immune system can offer.
Together, they discuss the concept of immune ignorance, why a single biomarker doesn't determine whether immunotherapy can work for a patient, and how correctly loading a patient's own tumor data into their dendritic cells can retrain the immune system to fight relapse and mutation.
Discover why cancer may be less a battle to fight and more a system to reeducate, and how patients today can access personalized immunotherapy without waiting years for it to reach mainstream care, here on Fast Metabolism Matters.

Dr. Matthew Halpert earned his doctorate at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), and then spent 10 years at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston as a Cancer Immunologist. During his research, Dr. Halpert published research in some of the most prestigious peer-reviewed journals, has been cited over 450 times, and became one of the leading experts regarding cutting-edge cancer immunotherapy.
Additionally, he has founded Diakonos Oncology, which is currently studying its revolutionary Dendritic Cell Treatment in multiple FDA clinical trials, including Glioblastoma which recently was awarded a "Fast Track" designation from the FDA (in 2023) and won a "Breakthrough in Cancer" award (in 2024). Other trials are on the same projectile, and there is optimism for future approvals.
In 2021, Dr. Halpert left Baylor College of Medicine to found the Immunocine Cancer Center, which leverages the Dendritic Cell Treatment currently being studied in US trials for patients that may benefit 'today' but are not eligible for one of the trials and do not have the time to wait.
