Ned-X: Hacking Biology Hello NEDsters! Check out our Sunday June 19th @ 7pm talks:  Johan Sosa  DIY GMO   How new techniques are making it possible for anyone to cheaply and precisely modify the DNA of organisms. Jo Bhakdi  How to detect cancer early:  A big data approach to genomic cancer diagnostics. Jo Bhakdi is Founder of Quantgene, a Berkeley-based cancer diagnostics startup. Detecting cancer at early stages holds a great promise: by shifting the median detection from currently stage 3.5 to stage 2, we could reduce cancer mortality by 2/3 and save 400,000 American lives each year.  A wealth of sequencing data has opened new avenues to enable early cancer detection through simple blood samples. At Quantgene, we use a new big data approach that allows us to apply high-accuracy, low cost PCR to the problem. In this speech, I will explain what we did, what the next steps are and how early detection will fundamentally change cancer in the next 5 years. When? Talks will begin at 7:30pm sharp, so come at 7:00 to mingle and find a good seat. Please bring snacks, beverages, and fellow nerdels. Where? Our normal location, email: ned.i...@thesubsf.com if you don't know where that is.
