When the Code Speaks https://WhenTheCodeSpeaks.podbean.com When the Code Speaks is a South African podcast exploring what it really takes to practise genomic medicine in a complex, resource-constrained and deeply diverse context.

Through open, conversational episodes with clinicians, researchers, bioinformaticians and patient advocates, the series goes beyond the science to uncover the people, systems, and decisions that shape how genomics is translated into real-world care.

Joined by Nakita Laing, Nabeelah Peerbhai and Zandre Bruwer, this conversation unpacks the human side of genomic medicine and the often invisible work that connects data, diagnosis and patient care. Together, we discuss how counselling is changing in the genomic era, the challenges of working in resource-limited systems, and why investing in this profession is essential for the future of personalised medicine in South Africa.
