WATCH: Boston Brilliance: Eric Lander

Boston Brilliance is a WBUR CommonHealth series that introduces audiences to the brightest minds of Boston’s biomedical ecosystem.

Broad Institute director Eric Lander isn’t just a father of the Human Genome Project and doesn’t just run the genomics powerhouse that is a central anchor of Kendall Square in Cambridge; he’s also one of the country’s foremost science storytellers, particularly on DNA-related topics.

Morning Edition producer Khari Thompson moderated the conversation with Lander.
