Listen into the fascinating world of genetics in a conversation between Dr. Rakesh Mishra and Dr. K Thangaraj on our latest podcast episode, where we explore the groundbreaking research on epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder that has significant implications for the Indian population. With over three decades of expertise in human genome variation, Dr. K Thangaraj shares his journey into the discovery of population-specific genetic mutations and how these findings can transform societal health. Through engaging discussions, we uncover the challenges and triumphs of conducting fieldwork in diverse communities, the role of whole genome sequencing in identifying novel mutations, and the critical importance of genetic counseling and public health strategies in mitigating the burden of genetic disorders. Join us for a compelling conversation that bridges the gap between basic research and real-world applications, paving the way for a healthier future.
