INSIGHT

DNA as Language

DNA functions like a language with vocabulary (genes) and grammar (structure).
Functional genomics studies DNA holistically, not just as individual genes.

INSIGHT

Microbiome's Impact

80% of metabolites in the human body originate from the microbiome, not human cells.
Understanding optimal human function requires understanding the microbiome's impact and the body's genetic response.

ANECDOTE

Women's Health Neglect

Dr. Georgie Brunval highlights the medical system's neglect of women's health.
80% of recalled drugs are due to inadequate female trials.
