- Summary:
- A profile of George Church, a world leading geneticist who helped pioneer mapping the human genome and editing DNA. Church used his own DNA in many of his experiments at his Harvard Medical School lab. His lab's current focus is working towards making humans immune to viruses, eliminating genetic diseases, and reversing effects of aging on the human body. After overcoming disabilities as a child, he went on to become an expert in crystallography - a technique used to render 3D images of molecules through x-rays and math. Church has been with Harvard for 40 years and employs around 100 scientists; he has also founded more than 35 startups. He believes genetic technology must be available to all people, not just those who can afford it. Includes interviews with Cory Smith, Eriona Hysolli, Alex Ng, and Parastoo Khoshakhlagh, who all work at Church's lab.
