"Getting your genetic information isn't just [of] your own, it belongs to your ancestry too."

On today's episode of The G Word, Chris Wigley, our CEO is joined by Georgia Whitton, the Senior Genomic Data Scientist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. She is also a broadcaster on YouTube. She hosts 'Genomics with Georgia', and is bringing new talent into the tech and science field through volunteering with Code First Girls and many other great activities.

From aspiring actress to senior genomic data scientist, Georgia walks us through her genomic journey, starting with her A-level choices to deciding which variant of COVID-19 was infecting the UK. Chris and Georgia also discuss her current work in genomics surveillance and amplicon sequencing of malaria.
