Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 229: Turning personal tragedy into a movement for preventive genetics with Matthew Goldstein of jscreen
Q: What is the role of the nonprofit model in advancing preventive genetics?
By prioritizing patient access and subsidizing testing with philanthropic support, the nonprofit model reduces the pressure to prioritize margins, enabling broader testing, education, and equitable care across communities.
EP 229: Turning personal tragedy into a movement for preventive genetics with Matthew Goldstein of jscreen
Q: What are the biggest barriers to widespread adoption of carrier screening today?
Payor reimbursement, misaligned incentives, and the disconnect between powerful genetics capabilities and real-world clinical workflows. Addressing these requires education, streamlined implementation, and community-based strategies that make testing routine and accessible.
EP 229: Turning personal tragedy into a movement for preventive genetics with Matthew Goldstein of jscreen
Q: How did your personal experience with your daughter influence your work with JScreen?
The experience made me realize how genetics can prevent suffering when used proactively; it strengthened my resolve to expand access to carrier and preventive screening, and to build a nonprofit model that aligns with patient interests rather than investor returns.
EP 228: What genomes reveal about Epstein–Barr virus and human disease with Ryan Dhindsa and Caleb Lareau
Q: What challenges did you face in your computational work?
A significant challenge was filtering out noise from the data, particularly distinguishing real EBV signals from potential contaminations, which required careful data cleanup.
EP 228: What genomes reveal about Epstein–Barr virus and human disease with Ryan Dhindsa and Caleb Lareau
Q: What was the kernel of the idea behind your research on EBV?
The idea stemmed from recognizing an opportunity to study viral persistence using existing biobank data. This led to a collaboration to investigate EBV latency traits in population-level genetics.
