In this episode with Dr. Cybel Mehawej of the Lebanese American University Human Genetics Department, and co-hosted with MohammadAli Jardaly, we explore the gene discovery process at the intersection of genetics and immunology. Dr. Mehawej, along with the team at the LAU Medical Center (Dr. Andre Megarbane, Dr. Eliane Choueiri) have discovered 2 genes related to immunodeficiency over the past year. We discuss the process of gene discovery and its eventual impact on monitoring and treatment of these rare diseases. Whether you are a scientist, student, or simply curious about how genetics impacts health and disease, this podcast offers a rich resource and a window into the field of immunogenetics.
