Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 11:35PM Futures in Biotech 60: Do You Come To This Cave Often?
Host: Marc Pelletier
Guests: Dave Brodbeck, Ph.D., Andre Nantel, Ph.D., Vincent Racaniello, Ph.D., and George Farr, Ph.D.
In this episode, a panel of scientists discuss recent stories including face recognition in primates, a new cure for HCV, changing the genetic code from three to four bases, and lastly, interspecies breading between modern humans and neanderthals…
