Kerry O’Brien in conversation with Prof. John Rasko

Today, Professor John Rasko joined award winning journalist, Kerry O’Brien at Griffith University to talk all about science, stem-cell research and the future of medicine, as part of their ‘A better future for all’ series.

Prof. Rasko’s 2018 Boyer Lectures detail both the promises and pitfalls of gene and cell-based strategies to cure and prevent disease. As co-author of the recently published book Flesh Made New, he argues that the great hope offered by regenerative medicine for human health has been compromised by unrealistic expectations and outright fraud. Watch the conversation, as John highlights the uncertainties and false promises that litter the path to a healthier, science-based future.
