"Eventually, it'll be pervasive and we won't even use the term 'genomic medicine' because it will be medicine."
Dr Eric Topol, Director and Founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, is one of science’s most innovative thinkers, a leading physician, and author of The Topol Review. In our first episode, Chris and Eric talk about the evolution of genomics, the importance of patients being at the heart of decision-making, and how they deserve to be given better insights about their healthcare.
