The Science of You

The Science of You
Podcast Description
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?

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.
