"From 2025 Breakthrough Prize winner David Liu to Moderna CEO Stepháne Bancel, WIRED Health speakers gave deep insights into what's next for gene-editing, cancer treatment, and a host of other cutting-edge topics. We were also joined by neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, who discussed chronic pain and his new book, It Doesn't Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life."
"Treatment for genetic diseases like sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia are hard to design, but ongoing CRISPR clinical trials offer new hope for patients. WIRED managing editor Hemal Jhaveri spoke with 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences winner David Liu to discuss how new genetic-editing tools can fix the pathogenic gene mutations that cause thousands of diseases."
"In the past two decades, MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden has invented novel tools to map and control the brain. Now, he's building the world's first computer simulation of one. In this WIRED Health keynote, he spoke about how that invention can revolutionize AI, unlock new treatments for neurodiseases, and even help better understand the human condition."
WIRED Health held a summit in Boston on September 9 featuring leaders across CRISPR, whole-genome sequencing, vaccines, AI, AgeTech, and pain medicine. Sessions highlighted progress in CRISPR clinical trials aiming to correct pathogenic mutations behind diseases such as sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. A keynote explored building the world's first computer simulation of a brain to accelerate AI research and develop treatments for neurodiseases. Conversations focused on the longevity economy, AgeTech solutions for older adults, and emerging strategies for cancer treatment and vaccines. Neurosurgery perspectives on chronic pain and practical guidance for pain-free living were also presented. Summit sessions are available online.
