Description

From Bench to Bedside is a science-forward medical podcast that cuts through the noise, the hype, and the misinformation. Hosted by Dr. Zachary Rubin, MD, a double board-certified pediatrician and allergist/immunologist, and Dr. Melanie Matheu, PhD, an immunologist, scientist and entrepreneur. This podcast brings you the combined perspectives of a medical doctor and PhD scientist on what’s actually happening in medicine, public health, and biomedical science. Each episode bridges the gap between what the research shows (“the bench”) and what patients experience in the real world (“the bedside”). We break down topics like vaccines, immune system myths, chronic illness claims, viral health trends, and breaking medical news using evidence, clinical reasoning, and scientific context. Whether you’re a clinician, scientist, student, or just someone trying to make sense of today’s health information landscape, From Bench to Bedside is here to help you think more clearly about health and medicine. 🎙️ New episodes regularly 📍 Educational content only; not medical advice
