We Are All Mutants

While most of us are born with one nose, two legs, ten fingers and two eyes some of us are not. How different are we from people who, at first glance, appear physically dissimilar to us? And, since there is no such thing as genetic perfection and each of us carries hundreds of mutations, how does the human body work around - and hide - these misprints in our DNA? Tonight Armand Leroi discusses physical variety and how it can help us understand human development, growth and aging. Armand Leroi is Reader in Developmental Biology at Imperial College London; he was awarded the 2001 Scientist for the New Century award by the Royal Institution; he has published many scientific papers and is the author of Mutants: On the Form, Varieties and Errors of the Human Body. In the chair: Daniel Glaser, neuroscientist at UCL. Nash Room
