What does it take to survive history and go on to change the future of science?
In this remarkable episode of Tomorrow, Today, host Shekhar Natarajan sits down with Sir Walter Bodmer, one of the world's most influential geneticists and pioneers in cancer research.
Born in Germany to a Jewish family, Sir Walter escaped Nazi persecution as a young child before building a career that would redefine modern genetics. His groundbreaking work on the Human Genome Project, cancer biology, and immunogenetics has transformed our understanding of human health and disease.
This conversation goes beyond scientific achievements. It explores resilience, identity, curiosity, the evolution of cancer research, artificial intelligence in medicine, the future of healthcare, and the unanswered scientific questions that continue to inspire one of the greatest minds in modern biology.
A powerful discussion about history, humanity, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.
