People of Precision Health: A Series by Vibrent Health

Population Genomics is a Lifelong Relationship

Episode Summary

Imagine if we could predict serious diseases years before they occur—what would be the impact for patient care? The key is in understanding genetics. In this premiere episode of the Vibrent Health podcast series, People of Precision Health, our guest Howard McLeod discusses the HerediGene program and its mission to sequence the genes of over 500,000 participants toward predicting and preventing disease.
