In this compelling episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley sits down with molecular biologist and biotech entrepreneur Dr. Howard Urnovitz to uncover a revolutionary perspective on human and animal health. Driven by a deeply personal mission, Dr. Urnovitz shares his journey from developing groundbreaking diagnostics—including the first FDA-approved urine test for HIV—to launching FBB Biomed, a company that leverages RNA sequencing and artificial intelligence to detect disease long before symptoms appear.

From the misunderstood role of “junk DNA” and endogenous viruses to the impact of environmental toxins on gene expression, this episode challenges conventional thinking about disease, diagnostics, and the true potential of genomics. Dr. Urnovitz also discusses his provocative new book Unnatural Selection, which connects the dots between historical pandemics, agricultural practices, and modern health crises.

Whether you’re a student, scientist, producer, or policy advocate, this episode is packed with insights that will inspire you to think differently about how we safeguard the health of our animals, ourselves, and our planet.

☕ So grab your coffee—and join us as we explore the frontier where science, storytelling, and systems thinking collide.
