- **Event Description**: How genome breakthroughs by Carola Vinuesa exonerated a wrongly convicted mother and transformed our understanding of disease.About this EventThe human genome contains over 3 billion DNA bases. As sequencing and genome-editing technologies advance, we are uncovering the function of millions of bases per year. Yet despite this progress, the functional significance of most of the genome remains unknown. Understanding genetic variants could reveal fundamental insights into biology, disease, and even justice.In this talk, geneticist Carola Vinuesa will present three examples of genetic discoveries and their impact on our understanding of human health. From unveiling new insights into the regulation of antibodies in our immue response, to the origins of the autoimmune disease Lupus, and the identification of a new gene variant which led to the exoneration of a wrongly convicted mother.Carola is the 2026 JBS Haldane Lecturer, which is awarded annually by the Genetics Society to an individual for outstanding ability to communicate topical subjects in genetics research to an interested lay audience.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri's Event image by Adam Knl via Pexels
