    Rethinking Healthcare: Dr. Leroy Hood on P4 Medicine, Systems Biology, AI & the Phenome

    What if healthcare focused on keeping us healthy instead of waiting for us to become sick? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leroy Hood—a pioneering biologist, co-founder of the Institute for Systems Biology, and one of the visionaries behind modern genomics—to explore how science is transforming the future of medicine. We discuss the origins of systems biology, the evolution of Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory (P4) medicine, and why understanding the human phenome may be just as important as understanding the genome. Dr. Hood also shares his vision for Phenome Health, the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, the future of aging, and how understanding our biology may reshape what it means to be human. Whether you're interested in medicine, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, or the future of human health, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at where healthcare is headed next.

    InfoPoint Season 2 Trailer: The Future of Medicine

    The future of medicine is arriving faster than most people realize. This season, InfoPoint explores what's coming: AI-driven diagnostics, biology we can engineer, and a shift from treating disease to catching it before it starts. Host Isha Joshi talks with the researchers pushing these fields forward, including genomics pioneer Dr. Leroy Hood and gut-brain scientist Dr. Sarkis Mazmanian, among others working at the edges of healthcare and science. Each episode unpacks one scientific frontier — and the harder question sitting just behind it: how far should this go?

    Dr. Susan Weiss on 40 Years of Coronaviruses: Truths, Myths & Breakthroughs

    Today, I speak with Dr. Susan Weiss, the Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a renowned leading expert who has spent the past 40 years of her career studying coronaviruses long before they became widely recognized. Dr. Susan Weiss is also the co-director of the Penn Center for Research on Coronaviruses and Other Emerging Pathogens at the Perelman School of Medicine. She completed her PhD in Microbiology from Harvard University and did her postdoc research at the University of California, San Francisco. We discuss how these viruses work and what we can learn from past outbreaks to better prepare for the future. We also dive into the importance of basic science research and public misconceptions such as the human-made virus theory. Join us to explore the complexities of coronaviruses.

    Dr. Liad Mudrik: Exploring Consciousness

    Today's guest is Dr. Liad Mudrik, a renowned neuroscientist and expert in the study of consciousness and perception. Dr. Mudrik holds two PhDs—one in cognitive neuroscience (TAU & HUJI), and another in philosophy (TAU). The latter was awarded the Robert J. Glushko Prize for outstanding dissertations in cognitive science. After completing her postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech, she now leads the High-Level Cognition Lab at Tel Aviv University, where her groundbreaking research explores the neural mechanisms underlying our conscious experience. In this episode, we’ll dive into the methodologies of her research and discuss the practical and ethical implications of consciousness and perception studies.
