Ariadne Labs Faculty and Harvard geneticist Dr. Robert Green asks a provocative question: What if we could prevent serious diseases before they even begin – starting from day one of life? In this groundbreaking talk, he shares how his team became the first in the world to screen the DNA of healthy newborns, revealing hidden risks for conditions that are now, or in the near future will be treatable. The future of medicine, he argues, is not just about curing illness. It’s about predicting and preventing it.
