In the not-so-distant past, a typical doctor’s visit for many of us might have focused on problematic symptoms or an ongoing physical health issue. We didn’t expect to discuss social stressors like demanding jobs, family obligations, financial hardships, or the recent death of a loved one.
On March 31, 2022, scientists from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium announced a historic first in the field of human genetics: they successfully sequenced an entire human genome, essentially completing the work started by the Human Genome Project.
Dr. Lisa Stubbs recently discussed the connection between genetics and chronic stress on KOMO-TV.
PNRI Principal Investigator Bill Hagopian, MD, PhD, discusses his research, the connection between type 1 diabetes and celiac, and his hopes for the future of diagnosis and treatment. And John Caudill of Sheridan Vineyard walks through tasting some of Sheridan’s tasty reds. Part of the Science and Wine Club, a quarterly conversation series by PNRI.
PNRI Scientist Michael Metzger, PhD, describes his research on a rare contagious disease in clams and how some clams are adapting to be immune to it. Jason Morin, owner and winemaker at Ancestry Cellars describes phylloxera, a blight that nearly wiped out the European wine industry. Science and Wine Club, a quarterly conversation series by…
PNRI Scientist Lisa Stubbs, PhD, explains the link between stress and health, and how it’s all tied to our genetics. Chuck Reininger, owner and winemaker at Reininger Winery discusses how wine vineyards use plant stress to produce healthy plants and desirable wines. Part of the Science and Wine Club, a quarterly conversation series by PNRI.
PNRI Scientist Rick McLaughlin, PhD, shares how genomes evolved by stealing pieces of viruses to make new genes and why that matters now. Denise and Brett Isenhower, owners and winemakers at Isenhower Cellars (and both former Pharmacists), discuss clones and the evolution of grapes. Part of the Science and Wine Club, a quarterly conversation series…
