Series 6 Episode 2 : A Genomics Conversation With ... Amber and Harri

Welcome to Genomics Now, a podcast that highlights how genomics is changing healthcare. This podcast series is recorded in 2025 and is part of the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service's (NT GMS) educational toolkit.

This is the second episode of our series - A Genomics Conversation With. This series will focus on the power that open conversations hold in genomic medicine - whether that be in communities, between healthcare professionals or with families. Throughout the series we will feature conversations between members of our North Thames Genomic Medicine Service Team and people whose lives have been impacted by genomics.

This episode, hosted by Dr Fiona Calvert, is taken from a session at our North Thames Genomics Showcase 2025. The session was titled “What I want my healthcare professionals to know about genomics” and today’s podcast is a short snippet of the early part of that session.

In the episode, you will hear a conversation between Dr Fiona Calvert, our Genetic Counselling Lead, Pooja Dasani, and two amazing parents – Amber and Harri.

You can watch the full session on the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service YouTube channel.
