Vincent Pham Featured on VelocityTX's Vital Signs Podcast

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Vincent Pham, Cancer Biology PhD Candidate in the Huang Lab, Co-Founder and CEO of Powerhouse Therapeutics, and Director of Special Projects for Nucleate Texas, appeared on VelocityTX's Vital Signs podcast in an episode titled "Cowboy Hats and CAR-T Therapy."

The conversation moved from CAR-T cell therapy and liver cancer to the strategy behind building a biotech company in Texas. Vincent discussed Powerhouse Therapeutics and its work on cell therapies for solid tumors, then turned to the harder questions around talent, ecosystem, and what San Antonio's future as a life science hub could look like. The episode also made room for lighter territory, including the finer points of a properly Texan hat.

"Conversations like this help connect the science to the people and the place," said Vincent. "San Antonio has the ingredients to become a serious hub for cell and gene therapy, and that future depends on talent and ecosystem as much as discovery."
