ZE OTAVIO | BEATING CANCER ONLY TO FACE A NEW THREAT FOR STANFORD MAGAZINE
June 25, 2026 Zé Otavio
Imagine beating cancer only to face a new threat–from the very drugs that saved your life, well that was scientist Nazish Sayed’s story. This feature illustrated by #lcmartist Zé Otavio for Stanford Magazine called “Heart Broken” is a story about a doctor/researcher who was diagnosed with cancer and changed his focus to the damage the toxic chemo drugs do to vascular cells and how that might be alleviated or eliminated. Cancer survivor to cardiotoxicity researcher, a harrowing personal story and a niche scientific medical story that delves into things that most people likely didn’t know.
