George Church and Personal Genome Project

Open genetic data combined with medical and phisiological information will change the way medicine works – treatments will be personalized and more effective, plus there will be new therapies created specifically for particular patiens. This will significantly improve and prolong our lives. George Church started the Personal Genome Project wich has this exact goal.

I enjoyed the Technology Review interview with Dr. Church about the future of induced pluripotent stem cells. Loved the quote:

“I’m thinking a lot about using regeneration as the key to treatments and keeping people healthy.”
