This event was recorded live on September 29, 2022.
Watch a stimulating conversation between two great scientific minds. Molecular biologist Phillip A. Sharp received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of “split genes,” which has been fundamental to medical research on the development of cancer and other diseases. Sharp is an institute professor at MIT and member of its Department of Biology and Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research; he also co-founded the biotech companies Biogen and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. He speaks about his groundbreaking work with Siddhartha Mukherjee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, a faculty member at Columbia University Medical Center, and a cancer physician and researcher. Mukherjee is also the author of The Gene: An Intimate History and the forthcoming The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human.

Very exciting and thought provoking discussions. I've been a fan of Dr Mukherjee s work since last few years and in fact he has been an important figure in medicine world, who's work has been very inspirational. I feel very inspired knowing about Dr Sharp's invaluable contribution to the world of genetics. The discovery of split genes/splicing, is one of the most fundamental principle for understanding genetic expression and protein synthesis. Falling in love again with genetics and biochemistry all over again. Thank you for uploading this stimulating conversation!
