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.

2015 is the year genomics gets real. That is according to Dr. Corey Nislow. From his lab at UBC, he is working on a pilot project with the BC Pharmacy Association and Genome BC that moves us one step closer in the promise of personalized medicine.
