I feel like that, with each guest I describe here, I always start off with “man, this person was really interesting and we had so much to talk about”. So I don’t want to sound repetitive or so, but man, Stephen Gilbert really was quite interesting and we had so much to talk about - so much that we ended up going over our scheduled time of one hour. There’s so much to unpack here. First off, we talked about Stephen graduating as a veterinarian (to those non-native English speakers: that’s a doctor who treats animals) and how he started working on the food and mouth disease outbreak in the UK. That already could probably fill a podcast! We did however manage to move on and talked about him transitioning first into research and then into working at a medical device manufacturer, Biotronik, in Berlin. After that, he worked at Ada (like a few other guests on this podcast). Now, he’s a professor for regulatory science at the University Hospital in Dresden. What the hell is regulatory science? Glad you ask, because that’s one of many things we talk about on the podcast. But that’s not it - we also went further into the topic of “ChatGPT” and other large language models in Healthcare, the promises they offer and the (regulatory) problems we might encounter when bringing them to patients. So, you see, we covered a lot. Listen to this episode to hear it for yourself!
