Research leaders who are building genomics or precision health programs know that it’s important to engage and enroll large numbers of participants to build a human cohort that offers diversity, objectivity, and statistical relevance. People of Precision Health interviews leaders in precision health who are facing – and solving – real challenges as they build population genomics programs. We explore the obstacles and opportunities along the path that get us closer to real novel discoveries and the future of healthcare.
