Reimagining Cancer Care and Clinical Trials with BAMF Health

Season 1 Episode 12:

In this episode, David Washburn interviews Chad Bassett, Chief Operating Officer of BAMF Health, a precision medicine company transforming how cancer is diagnosed and treated. Based in MSU’s Grand Rapids Innovation Park, BAMF Health combines advanced imaging, targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy, and artificial intelligence to deliver highly personalized care and accelerate clinical trials.

Chad shares the company’s origin story, which began with a 40-year vision sketched on a restaurant placemat and has grown into one of the most advanced cancer treatment centers in the country. The conversation covers BAMF’s expansion to Detroit, its soon-to-launch clinical trial platform called Radio Nexus, and how the company is using AI to improve care and make it more affordable. Chad also discusses BAMF’s partnerships with Michigan State University, GE Healthcare, and the state of Michigan—and why expanding access and modernizing outdated regulations are key to their mission.
