The Ogden Surgical-Medical Society is committed to helping medical professionals aid their patients in the best way possible. Today, we are lucky to have Martin Tristani-Firousi, MD, with us to address current technologies and what might be possible in the future.

By the end of this podcast, you will be able to:

• Incorporate the scientific principles behind the current revolution in gene editing and its potential to produce highly personalized therapies for cancer and genetic diseases, along with other applications in disease surveillance and infection resistance
• Confront and analyze the thorny ethical implications of this powerful new technology
• Counsel patients on the current state of the art and potential clinical utility of gene editing technology for diagnosis and treatment of genetic, neoplastic, and infectious diseases.

CRISPR Potential Future Applications with Martin Tristani-Firouzi, MD

Scott-Martin Tristani-Firouzi, MD is a Professor of Pediatric Cardiology at the University of Utah and is an expert in precision and genomic medicine. Dr. Tristani earned his undergraduate degree at St. John’s University in Natural

Sciences/Chemistry and his medical degree, pediatrics residency, and pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Tristani’s research is dedicated to the study of and practical application of precision medicine. His lab has built an infrastructure supporting precision medicine by connecting disciplines that excel in genomic analysis, functional analyses and healthcare information

technology.

Dr. Tristani currently serves as Co-Director of the Center for Genomic Medicine, the University of Utah’s premiere center for genomic innovation, discovery and the translation of genomic medicine into improved clinical care. In this role, he supports efforts to create unique analytic tools, collaborative teams, and clinical pipelines to diagnose critically ill children with complex phenotypes and to end diagnostic odysseys for children with undiagnosed genetic disease. The Center for

Genomic Medicine actively supports endeavors to make precision medicine, including gene therapies, a reality at the point of care.

In his spare time, Dr. Tristani enjoys reading about ancient DNA from our human cousins, the Neandertals and Denisovans; as well as early human migrations out of Africa, the advent of agriculture and the settling of the first human civilizations.
