This weekend, I was talking to friends and got on one of my favorite subjects: Epigenetics. Learning about the science of epigenetics and developing commercial applications from the science for the global life insurance industry is simply the most exciting adventure – ever! Over the weekend I came across this short 4 minute presentation made …
We know the work of epigenetics is cutting edge science that is on the frontier of explaining the relationship between environment and biology. More specifically, epigenetics is helping us understand how our genetic code is expressed that impacts our overall health and well being. The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group deserves many kudos for recognizing …
