🎙️ In this episode of The Path to KOLs, Dr. Michael A. Morris, MD, MS, DABR, DABNM, DCI—co-founder of United Theranostics—explains how his team is moving Pluvicto from single mega-centers into safe, consistent community clinics. We dig into the toughest regulatory and logistical hurdles, the playbook for dosing accuracy, imaging quality, and safety, and how clinics are designed for a compassionate, family-centered patient journey with real-world feedback loops.

Dr. Morris also shares how United Theranostics trains local technologists, pharmacists, and nurses, mentors future KOLs, and maps a path to coverage across all 50 states. Looking ahead, we discuss what’s beyond Pluvicto—including actinium-225 PSMA approaches—and how telehealth, remote monitoring, and AI are improving patient selection, follow-up, and outcomes.

About the guest: Dr. Morris is a physician-scientist in nuclear medicine, diagnostic radiology, and clinical informatics; Medical Director in Glen Burnie, MD; adjunct faculty at the University of Miami and University of Maryland; and a principal investigator on multiple FDA clinical trials in prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors.

An Interview with A Mentor- Dr. Robert Langer, Sc.D. (MIT Institute Professor) on aspects of the Future of Diabetes Medicine Research

======

Diabetes therapy is entering a new phase. For decades, the central challenge was how to deliver insulin more safely, more intelligently, and more responsively.

The research work by Dr. Langer has produced a generation of technologies aimed at making therapy more autonomous: glucose-responsive insulin systems, microneedle patches, implantable rescue devices, lipid nanoparticles, and mRNA-based approaches to protein replacement.

At the same time, a separate revolution emerged from pharmacology. GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists, and now triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonists have changed expectations for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Innovation isn't accidental; it's designed. Welcome to The Blueprint, a show committed to inventing the future and closing the gap between aspiration and achievement. We deconstruct the mechanics of success in modern science to provide access to the insights that matter most.

On this episode with Dr. Cray and Chadwin Hanna (MD-PhD Student at University of Florida), we sit down again in December 2025, five years after his initial guest appearance with Dr. Cray Noah, a General Surgery Resident at UCLA and an emerging leader at the intersection of engineering and medicine. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and a summa cum laude Biomedical Engineer from Georgia Tech, Cray has a track record of moving technical ideas from concept to clinical practice.

We dive deep into his journey, and have real conversations on wellness, success and the journey of being a surgery resident.

Also, this conversation includes:

The Future of Transplants: His current feasibility study using hematopoietic stem cells to eliminate long-term immunosuppression in liver transplant recipients.

From the GT environment to the operating room, this is a masterclass in navigating—and leading—the next era of discovery.

Definitely an episode worth listening to.
