    Missing Pieces: Why Genomic Diversity Is the Key to Better Science

    Presented at the UK–Indonesia Health Genomics Forum, London, 25 November 2025 When we speak about the future of precision medicine, it is easy to focus on the technology. We talk about sequencing platforms, AI systems, analytical pipelines and discovery engines. Yet the real foundation of precision medicine is something much more fundamental. Precision medicine cannot […]

    The Precision Medicine Paradox: Why Partial Data Cannot Deliver Global Health

    By Dr Manuel Corpas Precision medicine is built on a contradiction. The field promises individualised care calibrated to each person’s biology, yet its foundations rest on data representing a fraction of humanity. After two decades at the intersection of genomics, artificial intelligence, and global health, I have reached a conclusion that the field must confront […]

    My Journey to Advancing Health Equity in Genomics

    When I’m asked how I became a scientist, I usually smile, because the truth is, I’ve been aspiring to be one for over 30 years. My career didn’t follow the straight path I once imagined. I failed to get into medical school, so I turned to biomedical sciences instead. During my undergraduate studies, something unexpected […]

    Why Diversity Must Be at the Heart of Precision Medicine

    by Dr. Manuel Corpas Despite breathtaking advances in genomics over the past two decades, we are failing to answer a fundamental question: who benefits from this progress? The sobering truth is that the benefits of precision medicine are overwhelmingly skewed toward people of European ancestry. In 2016, 81% of all genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were […]

    Bridging Genomics’ Greatest Challenge: The Diversity Gap

    Genomics holds the promise to revolutionize healthcare—offering tailored diagnoses, treatments, and prevention strategies. But as I shared in my recent talk, this vision remains dangerously incomplete without one critical ingredient: diversity. At the heart of my presentation, delivered on 26 June 2025, was a stark reminder from Popejoy and Fullerton’s landmark 2016 Nature paper: over […]

    A ChatGPT Moment for Genomics: Why Diversity Can’t Wait

    Imagine two people walk into a hospital. Same symptoms. Same diagnosis. One receives a treatment that works like magic. The other? Nothing. Why? Because what’s written in our DNA is as unique as our fingerprint. And the hard truth is: the science that informs healthcare—its research, data, and trials—has been built on just a handful […]
