Dr. Robert C. Green TED Talk – (September 23, 2025)

Dr. Robert Green TED2025 talk is now live on TED.com.

In the talk, Dr. Green reflects on how the BabySeq Project, launched 12 years ago, became the first to sequence the DNA of apparently healthy newborns. The lab discovered that a surprisingly high number of infants carried actionable risks, showing how early detection can reveal life-saving opportunities for children and their family members.

Since then, newborn genome sequencing has grown worldwide, and in 2022, Dr. Green co-founded the International Consortium on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS). Our next meeting, ICoNS’25, will be held on October 23 and 24 in London. You can use code BABYSEQ to save 10% on registration!
