Can We Build A Human?

Professor Brian Cox and our expert panel explore the frontier of human bioengineering and building, replacing, and enhancing our bodies.   Will we ever have bionic brains and cloned humans? Is there a danger of science fiction getting too close for comfort?    From mechanical implants to lab-grown organs to whether humans could evolve to live in space, the discussion delves into what’s possible today and where science might take us next.  Panellists  Mark Pollock – Explorer, motivational speaker and Chairman of Collaborative Cures George Malliaras – Prince Philip Professor of Technology, University of Cambridge Madeline Lancaster – Group Leader, Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology    Robin Lovell-Badge – Group Leader, Stem Cell Biology and Developmental Genetics Laboratory, Francis Crick Institute  Watch the video version of this episode and read a transcript on our website: www.crick.ac.uk/podcast/buildahuman   A BBC Studios Production for the Francis Crick Institute.    © BBC Studios / Francis Crick Institute 2025   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
