Frank Furnari, Ph.D., and Alexander Khalessi, M.D., M.B.A., discuss exciting advancements in brain cancer research, focusing on glioblastoma, an aggressive and challenging tumor. They highlight how specific genetic mutations drive tumor growth and how targeting these mutations could lead to new treatments. They also delve into cutting-edge therapies, including using light to activate drugs aimed at combating cancer. A central theme of the talk is the complexity and ever-changing nature of these tumors, which makes them difficult to treat. However, technological breakthroughs, like single-cell genetic sequencing and lab-grown tumor models, are providing scientists with valuable insights into tumor behavior, paving the way for more personalized and effective treatment options in the future.

Can computer science help us live longer? It is a complex question that requires an understanding of our anticipated lifespan and how the health of our body at this moment compares to the average person our age, what some would call calculating our biological age. What computer science stands to help with is understanding how better to pinpoint that biological age and what factors may play into holding off the aging process. Guest Andy Lee, of NeuroInitiative and Vincere Biosciences, speaks with host Angelo Kastroulis about this hard problem of predicting our biological age and potentially reversing it.Angelo begins with a discussion on some of the classical age models that have previously looked at the question of determining one's biological age. He talks about classic papers by Horvath and Fahy that have changed the way scientists think about aging. He introduced the idea of epigenetics, or the study of the changes in living things that are caused by the medication of the way genes are expressed rather that the more classical mode of altering the genetic code itself. With his Guest Andy Lee, founding CTO of NeuroInitiative and COO of Vincere Biosciences, Angelo dives deeper into DNA methylation signatures and the patterns that we can look at to begin to determine someone's biological age. Andy describes how computer science and neural networks are modernizing these determinations and what that means for improving our longevity.The pair note the challenges posed by the sheer volume of genetic data and what advances in data science can make in our ability to push this area forward, including therapeutics for diseases such as Parkinson's. They talk about how computer science is allowing us to have transformative information brought to us so that then we can intervene and act on it.   About this Episode's GuestAndy Lee is Co-Founder, Director, and CTO of NeuroInitiative, where he is co-inventor on multiple granted and pending patents surrounding the SEED simulation platform, as well as COO at Vincere Biosciences, Inc., a Cambridge, MA, company developing disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's disease. Previously, Andy was VP of Engineering at Black Knight through F500 acquisition, spin-out, and IPO.

How do new technologies and techniques for altering DNA get used? And who gets to use them? In recent years, the development of inexpensive genetic sequencing and easy gene editing technologies has given rise to a community of non-academic, amateur researchers who like to refer to themselves, only half-jokingly, as “biohackers.” But, says Mildred Cho, a research professor who has published frequently about bioethics, such communities are not bound by traditional “first-do-no-harm” ethical norms that professional biologists and physicians adhere to. There is, for instance, a group of such do-it-yourself researchers pursuing a low-cost insulin substitute that is free of patent protection; they hope to bring that life-saving medicine to millions who cannot afford it. On the flip side, Cho says, there are also bio-hobbyists who like to do things “just for fun” that could present considerable danger to society. “Would you want your neighbor recreating polio in his garage?” she asks, rhetorically, adding that these deep and challenging concerns are better addressed sooner rather than later. Join bioethicists Mildred Cho and The Future of Everything host Russ Altman for a provocative discussion about the shifting landscape in the ethics of biological research.

23andMe is one of the biggest providers of home genetic testing kits and if you live in the UK, it's the only one that also includes various genetic analyses relevant not just to ancestry, but also to health. After a previous ban, the Food and Drug Administration for the first time approved marketing of the 23andMe Genetic Health Risk tests for diseases in the US. Adam Rutherford talks to geneticist Professor Matthew Cobb of the University of Manchester and to medical ethicist Dr Sarah Chan of the University of Edinburgh about how useful this genetic information can be and about who owns the data. New research published this week has revealed something really quite bizarre about our own genomes: that we can survive normally with a considerable number of dysfunctional genes. We've got around 20,000 genes, and you might think that you need them all, as when they don't work, they could lead to a serious health condition. But from a study of more than 10,000 people from Pakistan more than 1300 mutations were found to have no effect on their health. Geneticist Robert Plenge explains the research. The Great Barrier Reef has taken another huge hit with a mass bleaching event occurring a second year in a row. Over two thirds of the reef is now seriously damaged. Professor Jorg Wiedenmann of the University of Southampton explains that if bleaching events continue to happen at this rate, the world's largest coral reef will never recover.

http://www.einstein.yu.edu - Harry Ostrer, M.D., discusses how genetic sequencing is changing the course of treatment for common diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease by identifying individuals at higher risk. It can also play a role in personalizing treatment: sequencing the genome of a cancer, for example, can yield information that leads to personalized, targeted therapy. He addresses concerns that genetic information can affect employability or insurability and reviews existing safeguards. Dr. Ostrer is a professor of pathology and of genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and director of genetic and genomic testing in clinical pathology at Montefiore Medical Center.
