Unzipped
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
If you could find out your medical future, would you? Researchers around the world and right here in the Delaware Valley are unzipping the human genome to expose how our genes influence our health. The impact on privacy, health care and medical ethics is only now being fully explored.
"Unzipped" features a panel discussion with experts from the University of Pennsylvania, the Coriell Institute and the Personalized Medical Coalition — moderated by WHYY's Health and Science Desk Senior Reporter Kerry Grens — and the premiere of a short video on the latest research in tailoring medicine to genetics. See how far medicine has come and find out what's next from leaders in the field when you join us for "Unzipped."
