Webinar On-Demand: Genetics, Personalized Medicine, and How They Change Our Lives
Join our genetic experts and learn how genetics have made personalized medicine possible.
About the Webinar
Since our co-founder Dr. Craig Venter and his team sequenced the human genome at the beginning of the 21st century, genetics has paved the way for personalized medicine. New technologies have redefined what it means to be healthy and are helping us to explore disease and aging on a molecular level.
Human Longevity Inc. (HLI) is at the forefront of this sea change in medicine, incorporating best-in-class preventative imaging, high quality whole genome sequencing, and the clinical expertise to interpret and apply the knowledge to our clients’ lives. Our goal is to prevent and preempt disease and inform our clients so they can stay ahead of disease—you might say that it is ‘in our DNA”.
Specific topics we’ll cover include:
- The recent history of genomics, how we got here, and where we are going
- The impact of genomic tools and new genetic knowledge on understanding health and disease, and how this is something that changes daily, as new information becomes available
- Precision medicine and the future of health care
Please join us to learn more about the future of medicine, what Human Longevity does and how we can help you and your family live long and healthy lives by preventing disease and resisting aging.
