How to engineer humans for life beyond Earth | Christopher Mason | TEDxBoston
For 70 years after Sputnik, space launches happened slowly and infrequently. Today, something launches into space almost every single day. That acceleration raises a new question: what happens to the human body during extended space travel? The NASA Twin Study, which observed Scott Kelly in space for a year while his brother Mark remained on Earth, produced the first complete molecular map of the changes the human body undergoes in space. That data is now informing a new generation of research into the cell engineering needed to make humans self-sufficient for long-duration missions. Gene-editing therapies that once seemed hypothetical have already moved from clinical trials to FDA approval in under three years, blurring the boundary between science fiction and reality. Christopher Mason is the WorldQuant Professor of Genomics and Computational Biomedicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, where he directs the Mason Lab and the Cornell Aerospace Medicine Biobank. He holds a dual BS in genetics and biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a PhD in genetics from Yale, and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical genetics at Yale Medical School. He was principal investigator for the NASA Twin Study, chair of the NASA GeneLab Data and Sample Archive steering committee, and a contributor to the National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey for NASA. He has co-founded four biotechnology companies, holds four patents, and has published more than 230 peer-reviewed papers featured on the covers of Nature, Science, Cell, and Nature Biotechnology. He is also the author of The Next 500 Years: Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
