From the Transforming the Future of Human Health Symposium, held at Harvard Medical School on November 8, 2018.
Presentation by Steven McCarroll, HMS Dorothy and Milton Flier Professor of Biomedical Science and Genetics and director of genetics at the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. In this talk, McCarroll notes that this was personal for him, in part because his sister had recently benefited from experimental cancer treatment. “We need to drive the science forward and share it exuberantly so that these advances can get to the people who we love.”
