Скачать или смотреть Bioinformatics: A way to deciphere DNA and cure life's deadliest diseases | Spencer Hall | TEDxUGA

Spencer Hall is a student with an idea that has the potential to save thousands of lives. His personal experience with Cystic Fibrosis and his understanding of Statistics has lead him to believe that Statistical analysis of DNA could hold the key to placing some of life's deadliest diseases in the past.

Spencer Hall is a fourth year Statistics major and Philosophy minor. Hall plans on attending graduate school to pursue a master’s in Statistics with a concentration in Bioinformatics. Hall has had first-hand experience with a chronic illness that could be benefited by the application of bioinformatics. His talk is about how the massive amount of genetic data available today is too large to be analyzed without statistical methods, and has consequences so important that we cannot afford not to study it.
