In this episode of Personal Genomics Zone, I sit down with Professor Yves Moreau from KU Leuven for a deep and thought-provoking conversation on the intersections of artificial intelligence, genomics, and society.

Our connection goes back to our shared contributions to the DECIPHER database — a foundational project in rare disease research that has shaped how genetic data is shared across borders. With over 2,000 citations, it’s a landmark we’re both proud of.

But this chat goes far beyond our technical roots. Yves shares his journey from engineering and neural networks to bioinformatics and drug discovery, and his growing preoccupation with the social consequences of technology. From his work with Carta Academica — a Belgian academic network engaged in public debate — to his activism against the misuse of forensic genetics, Yves offers a compelling vision of what it means to be a scientist with conscience.

Whether you’re a researcher, policymaker, or just curious about the ethical frontiers of genomic science, this conversation is not to be missed.
