Human Health & Disease
Overview
A healthy, optimal life that enables individuals to achieve their personal potential is the goal for us all. Genetics, combined with different environmental interactions, makes every individual unique and the current one-size-fits-all medical solutions, inadequate. Building upon genomic expertise at JCVI, the Center for Human Performance aims to widen our understanding of how individualized markers affect human performance, traits and diseases. Utilizing advanced science and artificial intelligence approaches, we will identify key markers that enable optimal living, as well as risk factors for disease. It is our belief that this research will contribute to advancing the understanding of human health, and will enhance lives beyond managing health risks.
