How many of your relatives or friends are facing a serious disease like cancer or diabetes?
How do we cure these diseases, which start in our genes, the most basic determinants of our health and other characteristics?
For answers, we turn to our doctors. But for better answers for their patients, medical doctors turn to our doctors.
