The life-saving secrets in your baby's DNA
Robert C. Green, MD, MPH takes the main stage at TED in Vancouver, Canada, for TED: Humanity Reimagined. His talk explores the provocative idea: What if we could detect and prevent diseases before they even begin — starting from the first days of life? Drawing on 10 years of experience with the BabySeq Project, Dr. Green shares how his team became the first in the world to comprehensively sequence and analyze the DNA of healthy newborns, revealing hidden risks for treatable conditions.
