The speaker discusses their journey from a chemist to a cancer researcher, challenging traditional cancer theories by emphasizing the role of context and microenvironment in cell behavior. Through experiments, they demonstrate how the extracellular matrix influences cancer cells, proposing a new hypothesis that architecture can revert malignant cells to normal. The talk concludes with a call for curiosity and further exploration in understanding the language of form.
