Can DNA Data Unlock the Next Era of Medicine? with Dr. Yaniv Erlich

What if the answers to mental health, aging, and disease have been encoded inside us all along?

In this episode of Neural Compass, geneticist and entrepreneur Dr. Yaniv Erlich joins Jimini’s Mark Jacobstein to explore how data science and molecular biology are converging to reshape precision medicine. Dr. Erlich discusses everything from decoding the human genome to stabilizing RNA for next-generation therapeutics. Along the way, he reflects on why psychiatric traits are highly heritable, what twin studies really reveal, and why biotech innovation moves at a very different pace than tech.

They discuss:

- How next-generation sequencing revolutionized the study of information in DNA

- The unexpected link between genealogy databases and personalized medicine

- Why stabilizing RNA could make genetic therapies last longer ...
