  • Our Genetics Are the Key to Our Health: Dr. Constance Hilliard Returns
    Better Black Health with Dr. Greg Hall welcomes back Constance B. Hilliard, PhD.  She is best known for her groundbreaking research in this area, which combines environmental health and genomics. After earning a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Harvard University, she started her academic journey as an African historian, analyzing ancient handwritten manuscripts from Timbuktu and other regions in Africa. She soon recognized that this detailed understanding of the ecological niche in which the ancestors of Black Americans were genetically adapted provided valuable insights into their vulnerability to diseases such as hypertension, kidney failure, certain cancers, and childbirth mortality.    The medical community’s lack of clarity about the genetic inheritances of non-Europeans and the Human Genome Project’s flawed one-size-fits-all approach have effectively excluded Blacks and other minorities from this century’s precision medicine revolution.
