Author's Note

By Patrick

Having worked extensively with healthcare technology companies, I've witnessed firsthand how genomics is revolutionizing personalized medicine. What strikes me most about this industry is not just the technological advancement, but the democratization of genetic information. Ten years ago, whole genome sequencing cost tens of thousands of dollars; today, companies are racing toward the $100 genome. This isn't just about cheaper testing – it's about making precision medicine accessible to billions of people worldwide. The convergence of AI and genomics particularly excites me, as it promises to unlock insights from genetic data that we're only beginning to understand. While challenges remain around data privacy and ethical considerations, the potential to predict, prevent, and personalize healthcare at scale represents one of the most significant opportunities in modern medicine.
