Your DNA contains an incredible amount of information about every aspect of your being, including your risk of developing certain diseases.
But up until recently, it was nearly impossible for doctors to analyze that information for individual patients. Now, with the help of affordable genomic sequencing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, scientists are working towards personalizing medical care.
At the Scripps Research Translational Institute, professor Ali Torkamani, PhD, is developing ways to predict a person’s risk for rare and common diseases.
