EP 200: From predictions to breakthroughs in genetics and biotech

<p><strong>This week on The Genetics Podcast, we celebrate our 200th episode with a look back at some of the earliest episodes, particularly ones that foresaw major trends or went on to spark real-world impact. These include Eric Topol’s early predictions about AI in healthcare, Laurence Reid’s vision for gene therapy in hearing loss, Sir Rory Collins on the potential impact of the UK Biobank, Daphne Koller on uniting biology and machine learning, and Vineeta Agarwala on harnessing large datasets for drug discovery. Patrick adds updates and reflections on how these bold ideas have shaped the genomics and biotech landscape.</p><p><br></p><p>Show Notes: </p><p><br></p><p>0:00 Intro to The Genetics Podcast</p><p><br></p><p>00:59 Overview of episode content and guests featured</p><p><br></p><p>01:47 Eric Topol predicts the role of AI in healthcare in 2019</p><p><br></p><p>05:58 Patrick’s reflections on AI’s progress today and future potential</p><p><br></p><p>06:57 Laurence Reid outlines D...
