Cardiology podcasts

Vincent Racaniello, Kathy Spindler and Brianne Barker discuss research using generative AI to design complete bacteriophage genomes, including reported viable phages active against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. They also examine a study linking recombinant shingles vaccination with lower cardiovascular-event risk. The discussion connects genome modelling, experimental virology and vaccine research, alongside listener letters and weekly selections.

Hosted by Vincent Racaniello, Brianne Barker

Steven Niederer and Richard Wilkinson discuss personalised mathematical models of patients’ hearts and their potential use in care. The conversation connects digital twins and the CVDNet project with research on representing, calibrating and using uncertainty in predictions. It also traces how this work develops ideas from the earlier Fickle Heart research programme.
