One-line bio
Max Rempel, Ph.D., is a molecular geneticist using mainstream genomics to test whether some people carry alien DNA, and to map how DNA gives rise to the biofield and consciousness.
Short bio (for show notes)
Max Rempel, Ph.D., is a San Diego molecular geneticist with thirty years in American research and work published in Nature, Genome Research, and the American Journal of Human Genetics. He founded the DNA Resonance Research Foundation and the Starseed Genetics project, which uses DNA to test the long-reported claim that some children carry genetic material found in neither parent. He is a Reiki Master and the author of six books on extraterrestrial contact.

Topics Max speaks on
- Starseed Genetics - using DNA to test for extraterrestrial inserts in the human genome
- The family-trio method - telling a true genetic anomaly apart from ordinary inheritance
- Why being a hybrid may mean gifts, not damage (roughly 5% of people)
- Starseeds, experiencers, and contact families - what their own DNA might hold
- DNA resonance - the idea that junk DNA is the cell's resonant computer
- The biofield (aura) and consciousness as the combined ringing of DNA
- A science-based metaphysics - telepathy, ascension, and life after open contact
- Bridging rigorous genomics with the spiritual
Suggested interview questions
- What is a starseed, and can DNA actually reveal one?
- If a child carries DNA that neither parent has, what could explain it?
- You say being a hybrid means powers, not damage - what do you mean?
- How close is Starseed Genetics to confirming its first case?
- What do you tell mainstream scientists who call this impossible?
- How does a published geneticist come to study alien contact?
- What is DNA resonance, and why does junk DNA matter?
- What would open contact change about human civilization?
