In this Genomics Lite we'll explore the cells required to build a human. How many cells an adult human has, how these are different, and the amazing methods scientists are using to explore them. We'll be joined by two scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute who study groups of cells in the brain and in the placenta.
Hosts for this episode are Jack Monaghan and Francesca Gale.
Guests are Ana Paredes and Jimmy Lee.
The episode was recorded in November 2025.
