Grinstein, PhD, North American Editor for Inside Precision Medicine , as he uncovers the stories behind the pioneers driving the precision medicine revolution. Behind the Breakthroughs features candid interviews with seasoned veterans and rising stars, exploring their origin stories and groundbreaking contributions advancing the frontiers of patient diagnosis, treatment, and care. In every episode, Jonathan goes beyond the science, diving deep into the personal and professional journeys of those striving to make these incredible new therapies more equitable and accessible globally. You'll discover how emerging technologies in molecular diagnostics, next-generation sequencing, genetic medicines (e.g., cell and gene therapies), and AI/ML are transforming treatment and bringing precision medicine closer to the forefront of healthcare. Whether you’re a researcher at a large pharma company or small biotech startup, a clinician at a major health system or community setting, a laboratory technician in the clinic or academia, an investor at a premier or venture capital firm, or just interested in the latest in medicine and healthcare, these interviews will inspire an…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T16:19:49.218663+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075"},"episode":{"title":"Amit Etkin: Precision Psychiatry’s Future Isn’t Genomics—It’s Brain Activity","slug":"amit-etkin-precision-psychiatry-s-future-isn-t-genomics-it-s-brain-activity","published_at":"2026-07-15T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075/amit-etkin-precision-psychiatry-s-future-isn-t-genomics-it-s-brain-activity","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075","url":"https://shows.acast.com/behind-the-breakthroughs-by-inside-precision-medicine/episodes/amit-etkin-precision-psychiatrys-first-biomarker-guided-ther","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/67105af848726944170ab1fe/e/6a55ece83f3beee8671702e3/media.mp3","summary":"For decades, psychiatry has relied on symptom-based diagnosis and trial-and-error treatment, but precision medicine is set to transform mental health care by using objective biological measures—such as EEG, sleep and circadian rhythm data, and cognitive testing—with AI-driven analysis to match patients with the therapies most likely to work for them. In this episode of Behind the Breakthroughs , Alto Neuroscience founder and CEO Amit Etkin explains how biomarker-guided drug development and biologically defined patient populations could make precision psychiatry routine, improving outcomes and changing how psychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated.
