To promote the new podcast series, Teckro worked with award-winning actor John C. McGinley. Known as Dr. Perry Cox in the hit television series Scrubs , McGinley stars in a video introducing Totally Clinical .
Totally Clinical episodes cover a variety of topics, ranging from field research perspectives and patient experiences, to drug development advances and technology trends. Gary Hughes, Teckro co-founder and CEO, kicks off the series by talking about operating for the greater good and what it means to be a mission-driven company in the 21st Century.
“Teckro is already the hub for effective communication; connecting stakeholders despite the complex, distributed, and often siloed nature of clinical trials,” says Hughes. “Now with the introduction of the Totally Clinical podcast, we are broadening our ambition to engage even more stakeholders in conversations; advancing clinical research and expanding awareness of clinical trials as an option for best possible care.”
Other topics include:
- Dr. Deborah Zajchowski, scientific director for the non-profit Clearity Foundation , discusses how targeted clinical trials based on tumor biomarkers can help increase survival rates for ovarian cancer.
- Dr. Brendan Buckley, Teckro Chief Medical Officer, explores trends in clinical trials –from mega trials to personalized medicine.
- Lydia Beaudette, manager of growth at LMC Manna Research , presents the research site viewpoint and ways to reduce the burden of technology on staff who are already stretched thin.
- Maria Milas takes us through the “day in the life” of a clinical research associate (CRA) and how the pandemic is driving change for the better.
- And Martin Lovell, a prostate cancer survivor, recounts how a chance reading of a newspaper article saved his life.
“Every initiative that gets people talking is a step forward,” says Dr. Zajchowski, “but the Totally Clinical podcast series is also a chance for non-profit organizations to reach other audiences. It allows us to engage in conversations that might accelerate research for treatments and drugs that improve outcomes and survival.”
The Totally Clinical: Trial Triumphs & Rad Trends podcast is available ad-free on Spotify , Apple , and Google . If you are interested in submitting a topic for consideration, contact us .

Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric Ciphers Classic McEliece is first PQC algorithm to achieve global standardization Organisations in 177 ISO member states can now adopt Classic McEliece to remain secure from attack by both classical and quantum computers Governments including Germany and the Netherlands already recommend the highly secure Classic McEliece algorithm due to its unmatched security credentials It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefor
