    There are some great guests but Theral interrupts them often to put in his own 'two cents'. Let your guests tell their story!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Case for a 6-Base Genome with Peter Fromen, CEO of Biomodal
Q: What makes Biomodal's six-base genome different from previous epigenetic approaches?
It reads three layers of information directly from each cytosine base—unmethylated, 5-methylcytosine, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine—within a single workflow, avoiding the noise and imputation issues of bisulfite-based methods and enabling more precise, early-disease detection.
Beyond GLP-1: Why Peptides Are Back at the Center of Drug Discovery with Charlie Johannes and Tomi Sawyer
Q: What has driven peptide drug discovery back into the limelight?
It's the combination of longer-acting peptides enabled by lipid modifications, improved oral delivery approaches, and new tools that let us engineer properties directly into peptides, expanding the feasible pharmacology beyond what was possible a decade ago.
Illumina's New Mapped Read Technology Provides Insights into Rare Disease: Stephen Kingsmore, Olivia Kim-McManus and Ali Crawford
Q: What impact does this technology have on designing therapeutics?
It allows for targeted therapies to be developed based on precise genomic information, tailored to individual patient needs.
Illumina's New Mapped Read Technology Provides Insights into Rare Disease: Stephen Kingsmore, Olivia Kim-McManus and Ali Crawford
Q: What biological problems are you addressing with proximity-mapped read technology?
This technology resolves complex genome structures, previously difficult to interpret with short read sequencing, particularly for identifying elusive genetic variants.
From Hereditary Risk to Residual Disease: Natera’s Integrated Vision for Precision Oncology with Adam ElNaggar, MD
Q: What are the core clinical needs that Natera is satisfying for oncologists?
Establishing risk is a significant core need for oncologists, enhanced by CT DNA testing to better inform treatment decisions.
