Medicine is transforming rapidly. During this era of human history, scientists are forever changing lives, because for the first time humans are not powerless against their genes! We now have the power to not only predict, but also alter our very future. The Genetic Revolution is here!
With the power of gene therapy, scientists now have a new tool that enables them to change a patient's DNA. Medical treatments usually counteract the symptoms of a disease. But with gene therapy, doctors can cure diseases. Click to learn more

Genomics
Genomics is the complex study of the whole genome, or entire genetic material, of an organism. It deals with gene expression, and its impact on the proteins created. Basically all diseases have a genetic connection, and by learning about an individual's genome, one could prevent, cure, and increase the effectiveness of medicine.
With newer and more advanced technology, DNA sequencing has rapidly increased in speed, accuracy, and helpfulness.
Genomics is an essential part of The Revolution. Genomics is also fundamentally important in gene therapy as well. To learn more about Genomics, click on the subheadings underneath Genomics.
