Joyce Tung is leading the charge for truly personalized medicine. Two exhausted but joyful parents welcome their tiny daughter to the world. The nurse whisks her away to get cleaned up, swaddles her in a warm blanket and sequences her genes. The new parents will soon know their baby’s risk for certain diseases, the foods that will optimize her nutritional needs and the allergies she’s likely to develop — minutes after her birth. In the not-too-distant future, genetic testing is likely to be so simple and cost-effective that many people will have their genome sequenced fresh from the womb, giving future generations more information about their bodies from day one than ever before. |
