My guest today is Leroy Hood, a world-renowned scientist and recipient of the National Medal of Science in 2011. He co-founded the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in 2000, served as its first President from 2000-2017, and is a Professor and Chief Strategy Officer. Dr. Hood was a faculty member at Caltech, serving for 10 years as the Chair of Biology. During this period, he and his colleagues developed four sequencer and synthesizer instruments that paved the way for the Human Genome Project’s successful mapping and understanding of the human genome. He and his students also deciphered many of the complex mechanisms of antibody diversification. In 1992, Dr. Hood founded and chaired the Department of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Washington, the first academic department devoted to cross-disciplinary biology.
The topic is his book The Age of Scientific Wellness.
