Translation is the process of turning basic scientific research into therapies that cure disease, new sources of energy that heal the planet, and other things that move the world forward.
The Translation Podcast takes a deep dive into scientific advancements with a massive potential to improve society. We talk directly with the people advancing the science with their own hands and minds, and focus on how we can translate the science from the bench to the benefit of all.
Initially centered on biology and synthetic biology, we’ll talk with the most promising young scientists in the field. We aim to demystify the science for a general audience and to shine a light on how great science turns into great business. We hope these discussions will inspire scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors to help commercialize breakthrough research.
If you’re an author of an upcoming paper in biology or know of any interesting papers dropping soon and want to hear from the authors, drop us an email at translation@50y.com.

Technologies like next-generation sequencing allow us to understand which RNA transcripts and proteins are expressed in biological tissues. However, it’s often equally important to understand how cells or molecules are positioned relative to one another! Whether it be a cell changing its shape, an organelle ramping up a metabolic process, or a DNA molecule traveling across the nucleus, understanding spatial context is critical. Current approaches for spatial sequencing are limited by cost, complicated equipment, sample damage, or low resolution. Recognizing this challenge, Josie and team developed Light-seq, a cheap and accessible method to combine sequencing and imaging in intact biological samples. Not only is the method inexpensive, but Light-seq can also achieve unprecedented spatial resolution by using light to add genetic barcodes to any RNA, allowing scientists to determine exactly where sequencing should occur with extreme precision. By helping researchers to understand spatial context, Light-seq-driven insights may illuminate cancer, neurodegeneration, and autoimmunity.
