In the podcast, Lee explains how her operations research\ninnovations have helped create treatment plans that do a better job healing\npatients, avoiding radiation damage to healthy tissue, and saving a half\nbillion dollars in related healthcare costs. She also reflects on improved\nhomeland security modeling for biological events ranging from the outbreak of\nthe H1N1 flu outbreak to bio-terror attacks.
