Multi-omics | Investigating the body’s internet Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

Multi-omics is a great example of how the scientific community is thinking larger and using complementary methods to gather deeper information to understand biology and inform medicine. Proteomics is just one of the -omes of multi-omics but it’s the one that Steve Williams, Chief Medical Officer at SomaLogic, has over 30 years’ experience in. Steve joins us to share his story and insights on how protein biology complements genetic profiling to enable measurement of thousands of biomarkers to produce personalized data that has the potential to change the way diseases are identified and treated. Join us to meet this interesting man and how he believes multi-omics can serve as the search engine to human biology.

Multi-omics | The importance of science in data science Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we talk with Chris Whelan about the data behind science. Chris is the Director of Neuroscience, Data Science & Digital Health for Research and Development at The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, as well as the Chair of the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics project. He connects the dots between genomics and proteomics and clarifies how omics can be used to understand disease biology to inform drug development to treat disease. The conversation touches on the challenges of defining and collecting a comprehensive biomarker panel, and he also delves into the role of data science and the importance of having people that understand biology being involved in data science applications that affect human health.

If you enjoy this great conversation with a leader in his field we hope you’ll subscribe to the series to get future episodes as they drop.

CRISPR | Making the world better Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

Since it’s discovery, CRISPR Cas9 gene editing technology has blossomed and boomed. It’s moved from a highly technical niche technique to one that is arguably mainstream and being applied to countless challenges in applied biology. In this episode we talk with Travis Hardcastle, who previously worked in R&D to develop gene editing products and is now a Product Manager for Engineered Cell Lines at Synthego. Travis helps explain the basics of gene editing and how it’s being applied to cell line engineering and provides a well-informed perspective on the past, present, and future of the CRISPR revolution. This conversation touches on automation, bioproduction, and the feedback loop of guide DNA and cell line development. The therapeutic application of this technology, which has the potential to truly enable personalized medicine, is a focal point of this personal and informative conversation.
