Entering the genomic medicine era: How technology, data, and biology can improve healthcare

The time and cost of whole genome sequencing has dropped so much over the last 20 years that it could soon be part of everyone's medical care. What could that mean for the future of our health?

Join Niall Lennon of Broad Clinical Labs on Wednesday, November 19 at 6:00 pm ET for a conversation about what the intersection of medical genomics, precision medicine, and preventive healthcare could mean for you. Register for this free, in-person/livestreamed event.
