For millennia, humans have believed that aging is inevitable. Yet thirty years ago, the work of Professor Cynthia Kenyon and her colleagues showed that a single gene mutation in a worm doubled its lifespan and postponed the diseases of aging. R
What is a thought? Some may think that question is quite abstract, but it has huge implications for science and computer design.If we cannot define a human thought, how can we know if a computer can think? Only then can true Artificial Intellig
Psychiatry is changing and will be unrecognizable in the next 10-20 years, given our new understanding about the role of brain circuits in the generation of emotions and behavior.This week we talk to Professor Karl Deisseroth, D.H. Chen Profess
Using machine learning to predict how a protein folds helps solve a riddle in biology. But it is just the start.These algorithms open up new opportunities to explore the physiological processes that have eluded research, adapt and create protei
In the last 20 years or so, many new cancer treatments have emerged that provide greater precision and targeting of cancer cells.Today, we have a better understanding of the genetic components of cancer.Through novel technology and cutting-edge
Gene editing is the process by which alterations are made to DNA. There are three major challenges: make precise edits at a chosen site, make edits that do not result in subsequent mutations, and have an editing process flexible enough to addre
For the third season of Theory and Practice, we wanted to ask: what lies ahead for the intersection of life sciences and data sciences in the next ten years?In this episode, we explore the vastness of the "dark genome" and why "junk DNA" has be
We first shared Julia's daughter's story a few weeks ago in our interview with Dr Timothy Yu about the first "N of 1" drug trial. Tim recounted the journey in developing her treatment, and the intellectual and operational challenges that he fac
It's rare to meet a true visionary, someone who sees where the world can go before anyone else sees it. And it's even rarer to meet someone who not only recognizes the opportunity, but also has the conviction and energy to make it a reality. Fo
Physicians make very big decisions in people's lives. Whether or not to put in a heart valve, whether to do a stent or surgery, what chemotherapy to dose. We often make these big decisions with very little data for decision support. This has to
