“I like ambitious visions, I like try to break the codes in order to get something to work to get a result. But on top of that, I want to make a change for the patient today, and a change for the future patients. And actually to use the knowledge and technology in order to change that to make a better healthcare system to make a better life for each patient today, each citizen.”
Today on The G Word, Chris Wigley, CEO of Genomics England is joined by Bettina Lundgren, CEO of the Danish National Genome Centre.
They discuss Bettina's career, the importance of translating and understanding colleagues, and genome sequencing to benefit patients and to help find better treatments and cures.
