What does it really take to bring a breakthrough therapy to patients with traumatic brain injury?In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Charles Cox, a pioneer in trauma and regenerative medicine, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans decades of research, clinical insight, and unflinching honesty.Based in Houston, Dr. Cox is a Professor of Pediatric Surgery and Neurosurgery at  @UTHealthHouston  and a leading voice in stem cell therapy for TBI. He’s led some of the world’s most ambitious clinical trials aimed at healing the injured brain - and he’s faced every challenge the system can throw at a scientist.We cover:- The reality of treating traumatic brain injury- Why stem cells show promise—and what’s holding them back- Navigating the FDA and regulatory complexities- The emotional and scientific weight of trauma medicineThis is more than a science conversation. It’s a masterclass in resilience, purpose, and the fight to turn discovery into impact.Join the Conversation:Your feedback is crucial!
