Active Genetics and Super-Mendelian Inheritance with Dr. Ethan Bier

In this episode, Esme and Tyler interviews Dr. Ethan Bier. Dr. Bier is a Distinguished Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, San Diego, and a pioneering researcher in developmental patterning, disease mechanisms, and super-Mendelian inheritance. His laboratory’s work spans a wide range of biological systems, from uncovering how bacterial toxins disrupt human epithelial barriers to developing active genetics. This work has major implications for controlling vector-borne diseases and combating antibiotic resistance.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
