Synopsis

Hi everyone, it’s your host, Russ here. We’re re-running our episode with Professor Stephen Quake today. Stephen’s research has helped countless patients avoid the pain and suffering that can come with invasive diagnostic testing. He’s developed a number of noninvasive blood tests to help detect preterm births, genetic disorders like Down Syndrome, cancer, and organ transplant rejection. It’s an episode that reminds us of the power of good science. I hope you’ll take another listen and enjoy.
