About this podcast

Dive deep into the mysteries of the human genome with Manolis Kellis, a distinguished MIT Professor and head of the MIT Computational Biology Group. In this fascinating discussion, we explore groundbreaking perspectives on human genetics from computational, evolutionary, and cross-disciplinary angles. Discover insights into the human genome as a source code, the evolution of viruses like COVID-19, the intelligence of pathogens, and the complexities of the immune system. We also delve into profound topics such as free will, simulation theory, the intersection of biology and computing, deep learning, Neuralink, language, and the fundamental meaning of life. Join us for an engaging exploration of biology, AI, and the future of human understanding.
