Robert Green is a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. He's the director of Genetics Research at Brigham and Women's hospital and the co-founder of Nurture Genomics, where they're doing genomic screening for infants to detect and mitigate actionable genetic conditions.
If you don't understand what that means, you're in the right place because we have a long conversation, digging into that topic and picking it apart for your understanding.
This is a super exciting frontier for medicine. We are at a point where we know the science, and we know how to sequence a genome. We know how to correlate some of those things that we see in the genetic code to actual health problems that are predictive.
Some of this is just a bug in the code that causes you to get some kind of cancer or other degenerative disease. We know it's there and in a lot of cases, we actually know what to do about it.
There is no systematic screening for people, much less for infants. That's what Robert's trying to solve. This is very important, very exciting stuff and It will change the future of how we take care of people and prevent genetic diseases from disrupting their lives and taking their lives.
You want to know about this. This is a great conversation. He's very good at explaining what's been found in the science and how they're implementing it. Enjoy!
