Roundtables: Meet the 2025 Innovator of the Year

Every year, MIT Technology Review selects one individual whose work we admire to recognize as Innovator of the Year. For 2025, we chose Sneha Goenka, who designed the computations behind the world’s fastest whole-genome sequencing method. Thanks to her work, physicians can now sequence a patient’s genome and diagnose a genetic condition in less than eight hours—an achievement that could transform medical care.

Speakers: Sneha Goenka, Innovator of the Year; Leilani Battle, University of Washington; and Mat Honan, editor in chief

Recorded on September 23, 2025
