In this provocative episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley sits down with molecular biologist, immunologist, and biotech pioneer Dr. Howard Urnovitz, whose lifelong mission to understand—and challenge—how we think about disease started with personal tragedy and led to scientific transformation.
From launching the first FDA-approved urine test for HIV to founding FBB Biomed, Dr. Urnovitz walks us through the intersection of RNA sequencing, endogenous viruses, and artificial intelligence—tools he believes hold the key to curing everything from cancer to neurological disease.
💡 Along the way, we explore the darker side of modern life:
– Why ultra-processed food and environmental toxins may be rewriting our DNA
– How junk DNA might not be junk at all
– And why our public health systems are still stuck in outdated models
🚀 Dr. Urnovitz also introduces his new book, Unnatural Selection, a powerful call to rethink how we define health, treat disease, and educate the next generation of scientists.
Whether you’re in the lab, in the barn, or on the frontlines of public policy, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about genetics, diagnostics, and the future of biotechnology.
You’ll hear about:
✔️ How RNA signals can predict disease before symptoms
✔️ Why “junk” DNA and endogenous viruses might hold the answers to chronic illness
✔️ The role of AI in decoding massive genomic datasets
✔️ How agriculture, animal health, and human health are connected at the genetic level
✔️ A call to re-educate the next generation of researchers—with curiosity, not conformity
