What if understanding longevity meant studying not only disease, but the people who stay healthy?
In this episode of Decoded, Dr. Jurgi Camblong speaks with Professor Mayana Zatz, a pioneer in genetics and one of the most influential figures in the study of rare diseases, aging, and human resilience.
For more than five decades, Mayana has pushed the boundaries of what genetics can reveal about human life. From the early days of enzyme assays to large-scale next-generation sequencing, her work has helped map the genetic forces that shape how we age, why some people stay healthy beyond 100 years, and what makes certain individuals resilient against even the most severe mutations.

This exciting episode brings together the scale of modern genomics and the humanity behind it. It is a story about scientific courage, resilience, and the lifelong pursuit of “why?”.
