Recent technological advances are completely changing the way we understand the body. Revolutions are happening on multiple levels–the “omics” revolution, the digitization of data, and the systems biology medicine movement.

Today, I’m excited to talk to Drs. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price about the future of personalized healthcare through scientific wellness.

Dr. Leroy Hood is the CEO and founder of Phenome Health, a non-profit organization developing a project called Human Phenome Initiative (HPI), based on the science of wellness, which will sequence the genes and generate the longitudinal phenomes of one million people over 10 years. He has co-founded 17 biotech companies. His many national and international awards include the Lasker Prize, the Kyoto Prize, and the National Medal of Science. He is also the Chief Strategy Officer/Professor at the Institute of Systems Biology in Seattle.

Dr. Nathan Price is the Chief Scientific Officer of Thorne HealthTech and author of The Age of Scientific Wellness. In 2019, he was named one of the 10 Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine by the National Academy of Medicine, and in 2021 he was appointed to the Board on Life Sciences of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. He is Affiliate Faculty at the University of Washington in Bioengineering and Computer Science and Engineering.
