Active Genetics and Super-Mendelian Inheritance with Dr. Ethan Bier

In this episode, Esme and Tyler interviews Dr. Ethan Bier. Dr. Bier is a Distinguished Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, San Diego, and a pioneering researcher in developmental patterning, disease mechanisms, and super-Mendelian inheritance. His laboratory’s work spans a wide range of biological systems, from uncovering how bacterial toxins disrupt human epithelial barriers to developing active genetics. This work has major implications for controlling vector-borne diseases and combating antibiotic resistance.If you want to know more about the Genetics program at Texas A&M or the research discussed in this episode, please visit the following websites:Genetics IDP: https://genetics.tamu.eduGenetics Graduate Student Association: https://g2sa.tamu.edu
