Understanding the Science of Disease Through Human Genome Research with Manolis Kellis

MIT CSAIL Professor Manolis Kellis discusses how the symbiotic
relationship between computer science and biology helps us to
better understand the complex programming language that is our DNA.
Through DNA, we can find the molecular basis of the pathophysiology
of a disease and take a more holistic approach to disease
treatment, and one day may even predict disease. He explains the
impact of human genome and epigenome research on the pharmaceutical
industry in developing medicine that is both precise and
personalized, dramatically transforming the therapeutic landscape.
Manolis Kellis Principal Investigator, MIT CSAIL, Professor of
Computer Science, Computational Biology Group leader
