Do Your Friends Glaze Over

When You Mention Genomics?

As I have learnt a lot over the last two

years about genomics and the

possibilities of true personalization, I get

more excited and I just want to know

more. Unfortunately this does come at a

cost…to my friends who have to hear

about endless ideas and prospects of our

health in the years to come.

I realise that genomics is not interesting

to everybody especially as it is emerging

and is not quite mindless entertainment

but rather quite difficult for the non-

sciency brain. However as information is

much easier to access thanks to the

internet, there is no reason why we can t

all understand the basics and how our

healthcare will change in the future.

Most people now access their news

and updates via media in the form of

newspapers, the internet, apps and the

radio. It is therefore crucial that the

media stays updated with scientific

advances in Genomics..

A recent article published in the Risk

Management healthcare policy journal

highlighted the fact that when the Human

Genome project was completed in 2001,

there was huge media coverage regading

the announcement in Japan.

The authors believe that this gap in

dissemination of knowledge between lay

people and scientists it is due to the fact the

Genomic Medicine is not a major health

issue as well as the fact that as it is an

emerging area and the press is exercising

restraint until ample evidence is present.

Therefore, if you are a healthcare

professional or company not sure what the

impact will be of genomic advances in terms

of your products or services, why not start

getting informed about what Genomics is

and the impact it will have on personalized

medicine ,nutrition and food in the future.
