Bugs and vulnerabilities aren’t limited to software, they exist in our biology too. This talk offers a high-level, hacker-friendly view of what happens when the human code breaks.
It shares the story of my son Timo, who lives with WOREE syndrome. With no existing treatment, we’re racing to build our own patch to rewriting his code of life to give him a future.
When DNA breaks, the consequences can be life-altering. This hacker friendly talk explores how genetic mutations act like bugs in the human code and how rare diseases are like critical vulnerabilities.
Through my son Timo’s story, we explore what happens when the body’s code breaks, and why we’ve had to become builders ourselves, racing to create a gene therapy that doesn’t yet exist.
