Regenerative Medicine and the Future of Breast Reconstruction

Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz, Surgeon-scientist, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Conexeu Sciences joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Information and Health News Channels. Today, we’ll discuss the need for new approaches to breast reconstruction and Conexeu’s B.R.E.A.S.T. platform, which uses regenerative medicine to support the body in rebuilding its own tissue. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz discuss the following: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which also brings attention to breast health and the experiences of women who have undergone a mastectomy. Claudia, tell us about your background, your role at Conexeu Sciences, and what led you to the work you’re doing today. For someone hearing about this technology for the first time, how would you explain the 3D BREAST device and how it’s designed to work in simple terms? Women today have several options following a mastectomy. What did you see as the unmet need, and what is different about the approach you’re developing with 3D BREAST? Where is the 3D BREAST device in development today, and what comes next? The 3D BREAST device is one use of Conexeu’s larger CXU platform. What is the platform, and what are some of the other ways it could be used? In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Claudia Chavez-Munoz, surgeon-scientist and Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Conexeu Sciences, joins eHealth Radio to talk about what comes after mastectomy and the need for new approaches to breast reconstruction. Drawing on more than a decade of work, Dr. Chavez-Munoz discusses Conexeu’s B.R.E.A.S.T. platform and the idea behind it, using regenerative medicine to support the body in rebuilding its own tissue. She also shares what led her to this work, where the technology stands today, and how Conexeu is looking at tissue restoration beyond breast reconstruction.
