The Science of You

On the surface, we’re all quite similar. But zoom in and our unique biologies and environments reveal differences that shape how we react to certain foods, process medicines, and are susceptible to specific diseases. For a long time, medicine took a one-size-fits-all approach—and sometimes it didn’t fit at all. Now we’re on the cusp of a major shift: a new era where treatments could be tailored to each person’s unique biology. Join Silvia Lazzaris as she speaks with researchers and clinicians at the forefront of this transformation, exploring the discoveries that challenged our understanding of the human body and the innovations set to redefine healthcare. We’ll tackle big questions: Where are we now? What could healthcare look like in the future? And crucially, who will have access to it? The Science of You is a Chora Media podcast, supported by the European Partnership for Personalised Medicine, coordinated by Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences, and co-funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The podcast is written and hosted by me, Silvia Lazzaris, with editorial curation by Simone Clemente. Sound and music supervision is by Luca Micheli. Post-production and editing are done by Andrea Girelli. Sound design is by Luca Possi. The project manager is Silvia Arcidiacono Mutti. The producer is Martina Conte, with post-production coordination by Matteo Scelsa. Thanks to Francesco Zaffarano for lending his voice for the voice-over.

    Ep.4 - Proteomics

    If DNA is the blueprint, proteins are the builders, communicators and catalyzers. They’re the ones actually getting stuff done in your cells. Welcome to the world of proteomics – the study of all the proteins your body makes. Think of proteins as the building blocks and dynamic forces that make life possible, each one with its unique role and impact. This episode is all about how proteomics is helping us understand the complexity of diseases and opening up new doors for personalised treatment.

    Ep.3 - Immunotherapy: Reprogramming the immune system

    This episode will take you on a journey through immunotherapy, the quest to harness the power of our own immune system. Immunotherapy represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of diseases, particularly cancer. We will examine the origins of immunotherapy, its current applications, and how it is being tailored to individual patients as a personalised approach. For this episode we interviewed: Professor Michele Maio and Professor Mihai Netea.

    Ep.2 - The Microbiome: your inner ecosystem

    We’re hosts to trillions of bacteria that live inside of us, shaping our health in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Our cells are outnumbered by bacteria, and it turns out that just like our DNA, the makeup of our microbiome is uniquely ours. In this episode, we’ll explore how these microbes aren’t just along for the ride – they’re active players in our health story. For this episode we interviewed: Professor Emma Allen-Vercoe and Professor Nicola Segata.

    Ep.1 - The DNA Revolution

    DNA is the blueprint of life. In this episode, we’ll trace the journey from the first sequencing of our genetic code to the game-changing implications this has for personalised medicine today. For this episode we interviewed: Professor Rachel Horton and Professor Aureliano Stingi.
