Organoids, AI, and the Future of Healthcare | Jason Burke

Season 1 Episode 11 Published 2 years, 4 months ago

Description

Miniature organs grown from cells. Artificial intelligence making increasingly complex healthcare decisions. Quantum computing. FDA-regulated data systems.

Science fiction is becoming remarkably close to scientific reality.

Jason Burke joins BioTalk Unzipped for a wide-ranging discussion of emerging technologies and how they could change drug discovery, clinical research, precision medicine, and healthcare.

The conversation begins with organoids, three-dimensional cell structures designed to reproduce important characteristics of human organs. Gregory, Chad, and Jason discuss their applications in research as well as the ethical questions that become particularly interesting when brain organoids enter the conversation.

Jason then explains his background and discusses the technologies he believes could materially transform clinical research.

The discussion moves into AI, data science, precision medicine, and quantum computing before addressing a challenge every organization eventually confronts: implementing powerful new technologies without sacrificing data integrity, regulatory compliance, or sound strategy.

The episode concludes with discussion of FDA expectations, 21 CFR Part 11, and why successful digital transformation requires more than simply adopting the newest technology.
