No one is expecting it to top Gangham Style in view count, but Resverlogix (TSX:RVX) CEO Donald McCaffrey has taken to YouTube with an interesting interview that explains what the Calgary-based biotech will be up to in 2013.

McCaffrey says Resverlogix has entered into the most exciting field in biotech and life sciences research right now, which is epigenetics.

He says that if genetics is the hardware of the human body, epigenetics is the software. Epigenetics is gaining attention of late, in part for its perceived potential to treat cances at the genetic level.
