Mapping The Human Genome (w/ Kevin Davies, author of The $1,000 Genome)

The promise of mapping the human genome is about to be realized.

That is according to Kevin Davies, author of "The $1,000 Genome."

In 2000, the world of medicine and research was all aflutter with possibility. The human genome project was about to wrap up and we were promised huge health benefits. That was 16 years ago and so far, reality has come up short of the promised potential.

Davies says all of that is about to change. As an example, he points to the pharmacogenomics trials underway by the BC Pharmacy Association as a huge step forward in the delivery of designer medicine.
