#53 Malte Spielmann: Vom Rätsel zur Diagnose – wie weit ist die Genommedizin?
<p>Unser Erbgut verrät viel – auch, warum Menschen erkranken, welche Therapien anschlagen und wo Medizin an Grenzen stößt. Die Genommedizin, also die umfassende Analyse des menschlichen Erbguts, eröffnet hier neue Möglichkeiten: Der Humangenetiker und Einstein-Professor Malte Spielmann setzt Genomsequenzierung ein, um vor allem Patient:innen mit seltenen Erkrankungen schneller zur richtigen Diagnose und zu gezielteren Behandlungen zu führen. Was früher einer „diagnostischen Odyssee“ glich, kann heute oft in einem einzigen Test geklärt werden. Doch der Blick ins Genom bringt auch heikle Fragen mit sich: Wie geht man mit den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen um? Wer soll getestet werden – und wer nicht? Und wo verlaufen die roten Linien, wenn Techniken wie die „Genschere“ CRISPR-Cas Eingriffe bis hin zu ungeborenem Leben denkbar machen? Ein Gespräch über medizinische Chancen, historische Erfahrungen und die Zukunft einer verantwortungsvollen Genommedizin.</p><p>Mehr Podcast-Folgen von #AskDifferent hier auf Spotify oder unter: https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/podcast</p>

#52 Mustafa Gündoğan: Can We Build an Unhackable Internet?
<p>What if we could build an internet that is fundamentally more secure, one where information is carried by light and cannot be secretly intercepted? This is the promise of quantum communication, but it requires a seemingly impossible technology: a way to store light. In this episode of #AskDifferent, Einstein Independent Researcher Mustafa Gündoğan from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin explains his work on quantum memory. He breaks down the central dilemma scientists face: the more efficiently you store quantum information, the faster it's lost. Discover his groundbreaking approach to solving this problem by using atom clouds in microgravity, a method that could extend storage time from one second to several minutes. Learn how this key technology could pave the way for a global network of interconnected quantum computers and revolutionize secure communication as we know it.</p><p><br>*Please note: the informational insert is AI-generated*</p><p><br></p><p>#AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation’s podcast series</p><p>https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/en/</p>

#51 Max Sprang: Can "Bad" Genomic Data Make Science Better?
<p>In this episode of AskDifferent, bioinformatician and Einstein Foundation Early Career Awardee Maximilian Sprang takes us into the hidden world of errors in genomic data. Why do sequencing studies sometimes produce impressive-looking results that later fail to replicate? What happens when tiny technical glitches masquerade as biological discoveries - and what does that mean for patients and precision medicine? Sprang explains how his team detects and even deliberately introduces errors to understand them better, improve software tools, and make genomic research more reliable without throwing "messy" data away.</p><p>___</p><p>#AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation’s podcast series</p><p>https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/en/</p>
