Just imagine a world where every single newborn is screened for all known genetic diseases.

In part 2 of our discussion with genomic scientist and rare dad Mike Hu, we discuss Project GUARDIAN, his effort to provide Genomic Uniform Assessment of Rare Disease In All Newborns. This visionary project could help reduce the emotional, physical, and developmental pain for millions of people.

In the first part of our discussion with Mike Hu, we hear the story of his two sons with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 2, or MPS2.

Their responses to therapy and the typical delay in diagnosis they experienced for the older boy has led Mike to turn his professional skills to transforming newborn screening – but we will hear more about that next time.
