WIRED Health Recap: Cancer Vaccines, Crispr Breakthroughs, and More
Overwhelmed Summit of health in Boston on September 9, we welcomed some of the main experts in CRISPR, sequencing the whole genome, vaccines, and even more for a series of revealing conversations and Keynotes. If you are unable to join us in person, no worries; You can watch them well here.
Since 2025, the winner of the Revolutionary Prize David Liu to the CEO of Moderna, Stepháne Bancel, the wired health speakers have given an in -depth overview of the next edition of the genes, the treatment of cancer and a crowd of other advanced subjects. We were also joined by the neurosurgeon and the chief medical correspondent of CNN, Sanjay Gupta, who discussed chronic pain and his new book, It doesn’t have to hurt: your smart guide for painless life.
The next wired health event will take place on April 17 in London. In the meantime, have our Boston top catch up below.
Correction of genetic errors with CRISPR
The treatment of genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia are difficult to conceive, but CRISPR clinical trials in progress offer new hope to patients. The editor -in -chief of Wired, Hemal Jhaveri, spoke with the winner of the prize in the breakthrough in life sciences in 2025, David Liu, to discuss how new genetic publishing tools can repair pathogenic genic mutations that cause thousands of diseases.
Create a brain in a computer
Over the past two decades, MIT Boyden’s neuroscientist invented new tools to map and control the brain. Now he builds the first computer simulation in the world. In this wired health discourse, he explained how this invention can revolutionize AI, unlock new treatments for neurodisases and even help better understand the human condition.
Agetech rise
From digital brain training to home screening devices, technology transforms how and where people aged 50 and over while managing conditions such as dementia and chronic diseases. The CEO of the AARP, Myechia Minter-Jordan, spoke with the editor-in-chief of Wired, Brian Barrett, the promise of Agetech, the economy booming with longevity and the way the startups innovate to help us prosper as we age.
The promise of a sequencing of the whole genome
Nationale genome sequencing projects are launched by governments around the world, from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates. The geneticist of Harvard George Church and the founder and CEO of Orchid, Noor Siddiqui, spoke with the editor of cable staff Emily Mullin about how the sequencing of the whole genome is used to prevent genetic diseases.
Using light to treat cancer, mental illnesses and much more
In this speech, the former technical director of Google and Facebook, Mary Lou Jepsen, now president and founder of Openwater – shared an exclusive overview of her new invention: a portable modular device designed to combine ultrasound, holography and advanced physics to kill cancer tumors and other diseases with precision.
Win the war against cancer
Cancer care is still based on slow and costly procedures developed decades ago. Liquid biopsies modify this – Throw up to computed tomography and surgical biopsies with a single blood test that can detect cancers at an early stage and accelerate treatments. The co -founder and CEO of Guardant Health, Helmy Eltoukhy, sat with the preservative of wired health João Medeiros to discuss how precision oncology rehaps the experience of the cancer patient and how liquid biopsies will soon be part of routine health care.
The cancer vaccine revolution
What is the next step for the company that has developed a COVVI-19 mRNM vaccine in record time? The CEO of Moderna, Stéphane Bancel, spoke with Brian Barrett of Wired about the fascinating work of biotechnological society on individualized therapies of mRNA cancer and other promising cancer treatments in development. Bancel also responded to the recent anti-ARNM rhetoric of the Trump administration.
It doesn’t have to hurt: a conversation with Sanjay Gupta
More than 52 million people worldwide suffer from daily chronic pain. The chief medical correspondent of CNN and neurosurgeon awarded at the Emmy Award, Sanjay Gupta, joined the conservative of cable health João Medeiros to talk about his new book and the best methods supported by science to treat pain.
