The Science of Gene Therapies with Dr. Laurence Reid
Description
Did you know that there are over 100 types of hearing loss? Are you also aware that there exist exceptionally few therapeutic options for those affected by one of those conditions?
This month, Drew & Liv had the privilege of bringing on one of the people leading the charge to develop new therapeutics for hearing and balance loss: Dr. Laurence Reid, CEO of Decibel Therapeutics. Dr. Reid provides a behind-the-scenes look at hearing restoration development and how single-cell genomics in a laboratory can translate to giving a previously deaf person their ability to hear. In this episode, you will learn about Dr. Reid’s journey from scientist to CEO, how Deibel leverages single-cell genomics, and the importance of science communication.
You can follow Drew & Liv on Instagram @scienceinsociety to stay in the know on upcoming episodes, new content, and their ~nearly~ famous science shenanigans.
