Limmud Bay Area Festival 2018

We've been talking about Personalized Medicine for decades.  Ever since the Human Genome project was declared complete in 2003, precision medicine has been on the horizon, and much like the horizon it's been (in the broad sense) just out of our collective reach.  Alex Furman, co-founder and head of organizational development at Invitae will take you through the recent history, which is full of incredible technological and scientific advances on one hand, and frustrating setbacks and roadblocks on the other.  We'll talk about the coming paradigm shift in modern healthcare and the massive countervailing forces that are in the way.
